Making cheap metal lures

[Jeremy87]

Based on someones idea from this site (can't remember who). Costs about $1.10 each using vmc trebles. 90mm length of chrome plated copper pipe weighs about 30grams. Last exam is tomorrow so i'll probably be testing them out next week.

A friend of mine simply just flattens a sinker with a hammer with a trace through the middle before attacking it. He had caught a few fish with it, he theory was as long as it wobbles through the water its all good.

Does it have to wobble? can it just sparkle?....i am making some also..but not sure if they will wobble...I do know they will sink quick

G'day Jeremy

I make slugs very similar to that.

I finish off both ends with a half moon. I also put a few strips of lead in them before squashing them flat. Keep a few at different weights. Also put some silver prism tape down each side.
