Winter boredom has me thinking of making some lures. I got the feather idea and used jigs I had laying around and came up with these. Feathers are from hobby lobby and seem to hold up good to water in testing in the sink but I dont know what they are made of. They were 99 cents for each color on the end of a stick in the artificial flower section of the store.  

 

Do they look like they will catch fish? I tied them with some thin ire from the same store and epoxied over the wire.

 

 

Looks good to me. I'd throw one!

Yes they will.

In the words of Doug Marcaida, “Those will keeeel!”

Fred, I know I ribbed you about your cheap lure thread but just like those hard bait these will also get’em!

 

I do something similar with silicone skirts and zonker strips.

 

I think you got some winners there!

Thanks.  I am dying to throw these. Winter is driving me nuts but I am going to have a ton of stuff to try out by time the water ice melts.
