Copy Cat Lure II
 

Well after seeing BM's Knucklehead I had to try one. It is 7 1/4" long and weighs 3.7 ozs

WOW! :eek:

Thats wicked Nice!

Very nice sharp looking lure.

Ok, gotta have one . What's it gonna take?:cool:

Hey ,Your copying me who is copying BA.
looks Nice.
its a cool plug isnt it......................

u r what u build.... nice plug dude..

tadpole:wall:

Looks good NG. How did that wiring method you used work out?

Next one will be wired like you do BA, Thanks for the help. It is a cool plug that makes ya think ahead while building.

Nice work NG!

Just curious, neither you nor Dave mentioned what a PIA these things are. Or is it just me:( I find them very time consuming.

It's not just you. I don't think I have made a plug that takes as long to make as one of these. I turned the body then layed everything out before drilling or hitting the band saw. Yes very time consuming

I'll see what I can do when I make a few more next week.

whats pia:confused:

pain in as$?

doe..........
never looked at it like that BA, I had fun making it cause it is new to Me.
But i think the hard part is cutting the V.
I use My band saw and angle the fence and clamp a hunk of wood to fence to extend it and line up the lure ( have pencle Mark to get both sides right)
I dont know if You notice But the mouth I used a brad point to make the cup and then I angled the mouth via belt sander.
the hard part for Me was the front wire.
I hope to make it in cave tomorrow to make a few more.

You know what would be cool is after You make the cuts and shape it Just to wire the plug together after its been painted at the joints and then epoxy again. I think it would look trick.......
Just a thought................

That is the way I do the cut at the joint as well.

You mean make a space but don't hinge it? :confused: I thought about that a while ago but havent tried it.

You mentioned just making a U in the wire for the rear. I make a loop to keep adequate space between the front and back.

Don't get much more explained than that I guess!:)

Andrew, if I have more patience than you then you must have NO patience :D I am one of the most impatient people I know;) :D

Guess I'm just seeing the V-cuts, wiring, etc. as being a recipe for disaster :eek: I could just see me getting close to finishing one and f it up :rolleyes: Besides, you seem to have them down so well, be much better just to ho them from you :D

BA, im saying the U is for the front part of plug in reer . i do the same as You for the front for the rear part of plug
Yes just shape and paint then join the to pc together and epoxy.
