Can you share a story of a time when a homemade lure outperformed a store-bought one, and what do you think made the difference?
Some of the smaller lures are sucked in deep in the gullet making it a biatch to unhook! Most are lip-hooked.Your catches usually don't suck or gulp the lure into their mouths?
It's always been my opinion that if some slight change in a lure catches ya even one more fish in yer lifetime, it's worth the effort!!OK, go tackle yer usual mass of fishes! Bee healthy! JOHN
I took YOUR advice and worked the little "bulb" on an extra small jig head -prob 1/40 oz with no 6 hook, a shad dart shape. Really allowed the P lure to sink down slowly and horizontally, with even a lot more wobble than normal. I'm convinced that the longer time for the shake and drop encouraged the takes ! JOHN
Frank, I really like the looks of YOUR double dipped, light bulb tail ! This is EXACTLY the better size and FUNCTION of the overhyped, overpriced Jap scat system ! And you've managed to do it ( I KNEW ya would,of course!!) I think this new "Frank's Peanut" will be especially great for those big sheepshead up in Lake Erie, which suck up small wobbly jigs, and , I hear, we'll be heading up there in 2 weeks (wife's birthday) fer a few days! I'm thinkin that yer l'il P lure will go great behind my light headed mop jig front. JOHN
Why didn't I think of your idea of melting a couple together?? After all, as my best long distance fishin partner, you are famed throughout the land as the "Fishing Fusion Physicist" !!! OK, off to see what trouble I can get into today! Bee healthy! JOHN
