One of the most satisfying experiences a fisherman can have is to catch a fish on a fishing lure he has fashioned from his own hands.
It is not necessary to be skilled craftsman to make lures. If they have the ability to manage the limited tools necessary, they can make excellent bait. The lures may not look professionally perfect, but they will catch fish, and it all that really matters.
And if the angler makes his own lures, it will probably take more fish in the longer term. The reason is psychological. A fisherman who uses a store-bought plug or jig tends to hesitate in casting around rocks, logs, piles, and masses of seaweed.
He figures he has paid and he does not lose - even if he knows that some of the best fish are caught around obstacles. And lures such as templates are more effective when bounced on the bottom when they get lost and often polluted. So instead of losing expensive lures our fisherman cautious line flows into safer spots, which contain fewer fish!
Making fishing lures can be an enjoyable pastime, especially during long winter months when fishing is slow. It has even been suggested that the joy of designing and creating a decoy offers as much or more pleasure than the actual fishing.
Before you can do all kinds of fishing lures, you need the right tools. In fact, without the right tools you can not do a good job, and you'll soon get discouraged. On the other hand, if you are equipped with the right tools, you will find the lure of making easy and pleasant. Thus, the best procedure is to get as many tools necessary to advance before you start making your own lures.
Most fishermen will have some tools The rest can be bought without too much investment, and others may be acquired as the need felt.
The most important item needed for the manufacture of fishing lures is a bench, a table or desk. Blessed indeed is the man who has a basement, den, or a special room where he can have a plan for permanent work and various power tools to pursue his hobbies.
After you have such a bench, table or desk, you need a vise which will hold the various lures for drilling, filing, folding and other operations. Almost any bench vise of good size will serve this purpose. Unless you have a permanent work table, this vise does not have to be set at the table or office until serving.
A small anvil is also useful if you plan to make many metal lures or pieces these lures. It is used for cutting, folding, punching, and riveting. However, if you get a big bench vise machinist or utilitarian You can use the available space on the anvil such vices. Or you can use a small block of iron with a smooth surface as a makeshift anvil.
A hammer, of course, is a basic tool for any type of work, and to make fishing lures at about two or three hammers will suffice. If you already have a hammer, you can use it to attract many make jobs.
At least two saws are needed. If you already have a handsaw it can be used for working with wood.
A kind of drill is necessary to drill holes in wood and metal. If you have a workshop in home with a drill press, you can use for most work to do. It is particularly useful when drilling holes in the metal. A portable electric drill is also very helpful when drilling metals, especially if you need to drill holes.
Pliers, files, screwdrivers and a knife sharp are the only other essential tools necessary for making lures.
With these tools, the fisherman is able to perform any how many bait irresistible to fish.
