Piatu

Some from newest set. Lenghts from 55mm to 110mm.

Hello-Kitty jerkbait for one customer:

Couple of pukes... 75mm/20g

If it works with your top varnish/epoxy. I myself use only powder paints for spinners etc (leadheads) and if you try little bit you can use (carefully) butane torches to heating paint.

Smallest ones from this morning. Lenght ~50mm and weight 7-8g.

At bases i use probionate (small plastic pellets with acethone) or Finnish lure varnish (english prochure can found by google: Lakkavalmiste and there cab-products) and only varnish to top sealing. It makes hard and clear sealing and works well with my paints (Same producer with all)...ofcourse easier to use than epoxy. I tried to put staraght link to there, but my postcount isnt enough.

And several painted, icejigs, plugs, etched brassbacks/-bibs....

I have seen few bigger producers from eelskin and few luremaker from japan. And ofcource some artists from your country who make lures from frogs and snakes.

I myself like lures with skin that they catch better than painted ones, when they has been bited couple of times by fish...they start to smell thru varnish and everyone know how much better is lure with taste . And all lures are started to imagine real catch, is there better looking bait to fish than real skin Hard to make, but fishes will like these.

All of these are real fishskin and with scales I make lures fulltimes nowdays and that is my speciality in scandinavia. Big_bass-man: only few hours. i take skin from fish and let it dry over night between newspaper and under little weight.

Last week i putted one picture at here and i got few question about my lures, so here is few more. I have more pic's in gallery, but is quite had work to make these sizes smaller.... Lightened spoons, plugs and ice jigs. From 50mm to ~100mm. Skin are from perch, roach and ruffe.

You have to catch it yourself Simly: -Catch a fish -Take skin,keep scales on it -Dry it little bit -Glue skin to body I myself make allmost all of my own lures with fishskin. That in picture is roachskin (Rutilus rutilus).

Try next to make with real fishskin, like this:
