River jew on a homemade vibe

[BLOOEY]

Been pretty quiet in the estuary reports section of late so here comes one.
Had a bit of time on my hands so decided to see if I could make a good enough vibe to catch a fish. Made these up out of a milo tin lid and some flattened lead. First time in the water at the rod tip and the vibration was immediately obvious and no tangles on the drop. Second cast in the river at the spot produced a legal jewie after a nervous fight on the 8lb gear.8-) Pretty satisfied with that and lots of other species have followed. Ben

Awesome Blooey!
Can't be much in the world more rewarding than that!

[BLOOEY]

Thanks franco. Your spot on there! I was lucky enough to be introduced to saltwater flyfishing and tying my own flies pretty early on so making things to fool fish isn't new to me. Vibes though I had never attempted before and it was certainly some nervous moments from hookup to landing and very rewarding as you say. Ben

Interested in making a few for sale?

Good one 👍

[BLOOEY]

No sorry MacDougall. Just stuffing around and they take me way to long to make to be honest. Ben

Top stuff mate. I attempted my own awhile back. They actually looked similar to yours but I couldn't seem to get the balance right an they swam like total rubbish. Maybe ill give it another crack

Great stuff mate. That is the ultimate.
Every time I have a crap day fishing in the bay , I wonder how many good fishing spots am I driving past that you keep on producing good fish at.
Cheers Dave

Ben,

Awesome mate- on both fronts - on a the fish and the manufacture of the lure. Its a bit sweeter when you ve caught on something you have made yourself :). The vibes look beaut.
