The Famous Mackmauler Slugs

[Gorilla_in_Manila]

DC,
Just raid your old cheese's cutlery drawer for a few stainless steel bread and butter knives.
Cut it where blade meets handle. Shape the handle a bit, drill a hole in both ends; bingo, stainless slug.
Shape the blade a bit, put a bend in it about 1.5cm from the fat end, drill a hole in both ends; bingo, small bumpa bar.

Cheers,
Jeff

Check out the local charity shop for SS butter knives spoons etc 10 to 30 cents each

I will post a pic of some of my home mades when I find the camera.

Does the painted glitter actually work better than the old way of painting them white or red?

The stainless ball chain like nail clipper chain is the bomb for a home made skirt around a slug, when in the water they look so good i want to eat them [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] Just file a channel around the sinker and trap the strands under the wire. The bubble trail is incredible also.
Great post. cheers nq

NQ, the glitter is epoxied over the coat of white paint, how well they work is always one of those things that depends on many things, that combo is the best I have used.

ok after loosing eight slugs at $ 6.00 each l decided to give this mack slug making ago l call them the red eyes just like me on a sunday morning , on the right of the pic is some lures l picked up during the week l have up graded the trebles . and l will be seeking major revenge on the macks that stolen my lures on monday night
have costed the home made lures and l recon they cost about one dollar and take about ten minutes each to make if they work they are definitely the way to go
cheers spike

[DaneCross]

[snappa]

[mackmauler]

snappa, its all thanks to a f###n big hammer

[SNELLY]

I just put them in my vice - also with the criss cross in the jaws it gives you a niece scale pattern as well

I'm reminded of the scene where Bill & Ted step out of the phone booth and talk to themselves...

[straddie]

Come on you blokes don't try to confuse the issue with facts, just because they catch heaps of fish and cost next to nothing doesn't make them any good now does it hehehehe
