Hello ALL, YES another newbie tackle maker here, I will eventually get some lures posted for some pointers!! But as I search and read over threads, I am finding that it seems to be a great Idea to create patterns so that you can duplicate the lure as needed.... Well I have played with a FREE program called google sketched up a little when it first came out, but now I am sitting here wondering if anyone has played with it for lure making?? This seems like it might be a great way to develop and share ideas with others.

I messed around with it for a little while but am not the greatest at non square objects.  I can lay out a floorplan and building in no time but lures are such unique objects it's hard to do.  At least for me anyway.

haha! duplicate post from tackleunderground!

I can whip out an almost exact model of a house very quickly, but a lure when I tried it took me so long I just said forget it...

haha! duplicate post from tackleunderground!

Well yes its a duplicate post, heck the more people you can ask, the better the responses you get!  Besides there might be be people who just read this forum.  

I am just trying to see if anyone else has tried and if there was any easy way to do it and share the plans.

Have you ever tried AutoCAD?

Not for tackle making.... but I have used it before...

I downloaded it but it wont work. It opens and 2 other boxes come up, they have to do with the program, but the one always says (Not Responding) so I dont know what to do. Then I have to close it. So....what did I do now?  :-?

When you install it the two boxes come up.. if I remember, correctly you have to click something within the box (its a tutorial on how to use it if I recall)  once you get that the other one is just tips on how to do stuff..

The boxes come up, but nothing is in them. It just waits a few seconds, then a thing comes up saying this program has stopped working. Oh well, i'll try to re-install it.

Hmmm.. thats weird, I hope the reinstall works for ya.
