Salt and sun can cause plastics to degrade over time.
Also, do you really want to let everyone know what lures you are brining and which one you are throwing?

Seriously, it looks good (for a prototype I'm assuming?). A little tweaking will do wonders for its success and longevity.

Good work!

It appears to be the same tubing that AS uses in there bags, so not worried about it degrading.

I dont fish in the daylight so not worried about the sun doing any damage.

In my 124 trips last year, I only saw people fishing on three occasions, one being the habs tourney, and the other two being the fall run.

I fish with two guys on a regular basis so people seeing what I throw or am using has never been an issue.

yeah its the first one, so im sure with some tweaking and feedback once i start using it i can improve on it.

I made something similar for eels. I often think about making something out of 3/4 or 1" PVC for tins. My Summer place I use a lot of tin.

Looks good to me. I always thought the lure tube concept was good I just couldn't see spending the money for the tubes. It seemed like a ton of dough for what it is.

Good work...you may run into some issues with treble hooks getting caught on the cord attaching the cap to the tube (running cord outside the tube instead??) ...let us know how this works out for you.

Or maybe vulanized rubber like they use for bungee cords?
