Some lures 'natural' , some striped , some spotted and some 'bleeders'.

In the workshop today.

This is my work table. Very much in need of a clean up , but l have no time for cleaning....


Today I have been making more lures for Barramundi.  'SL' 125mm shallow [top] , and 'Mugil' 100mm shallow.
Lures are traced onto prepared timber , slots for 'bib' ['lip'] placement are cut first....


After cutting out , lures are sanded 'to the line' , and holes are drilled for wire placement later in assembly.


Lures are then shaped on a sander , and put aside for further sanding. In this photo you can see 'Mugil' 120 shallows already shaped. [lower right of photo].
