Finally I can fish with my own lures

[Brad.Bell]

I have been working on my own lures for a a while now, taken me 2 years to get them right.  I am pretty happy with the end result, cant wait to give them a flog

what do you think?

Brad

[Mark Harris]

They look great Brad!

The script is very funky. When I first looked I thought the first bit was sanskrit or similar, but from the jpg titles I guess it is a W?  Really looks good.

What are the lengths and weights?

[Brad.Bell]

They are pretty close to 130g and approx 185mm
Im working on a couple of other ideas aswell

[Andrew Susani]

They look great Brad.  Will you branch out to other colours in the spectrum?    A friend of mine also makes lures pretty much only in black and white - he likes to be very simple in design.

I have been making my own slow sinking stickbaits for the last couple of months.  After some solid testing, I have a prototype shape and weighting which I am quite happy with, now all I need is some decent bloody weather to get out the front and fish with them!





Once I sort out another mate who has access to a lathe, the foray into DIY poppers will begin 

[Brad.Bell]

Yeah mate definately going to do a good variety of colours
The stickbaits look great mate

[Guy Durham]

Nice work both of you guys. I have no doubt that the satisfaction of catching a fish on a lure you made yourself would be awesome! 

Andrew - the sky might not be the best colour but it looks like the water might play the game 2moro. Decent size tides too for a bit of run. Will probably have to venture out wide to find clean water though...

[Andrew Susani]

Yeah, that swell will be a problem if there is any wind around.  I am not too confident but it is the best forecast we have had in the last month so I will probably venture out in the morning.

Brad, they look awesome. Very neat and clean, wiring looks solid. What diameter stainless are you using? Have you contemplated in painting the cup's red or another bright colour that would stand out if you were to loose one in the water. Guessing you have got bulk supply so would just chuck another one on the line 

[David Noble]

Nice one Brad,

Very satisfying to catch fish on lures you've created.  Both yours and Andrew's look the goods and great finish.

[Chris Webster]

Awesome looking lures mate.

[Ben Lovelace]

Looks like it should fly well.

[Ed Nicholas]

I was lucky enough to be left one of Brad's proto's in bright pink .. had a few great Geets including a 40kg+ before getting buried by a monster in shallow water. For a reasonably small cup face they move some serious water and can be fished for hours with out 'the burn!'. Looking forward to ordering some Brad, loving the black one Well done mate.

Brad they look sweet...great stuff.

Got a few more colours yesterday, fully self sufficient now
