Very nice looking lures, what are you making them out of? I had a crack at making lures when i was a teenager some worked some didn't :lol: , I have a mate that likes to make his own Jewy lures

The 1st 2 in the pic are jewie lures made from Indonesian white mahogany, the others are made from white beech and red cedar.
All my lures are timber.

Beautiful mate and I am sure they catch heaps. I used to tie saltwater flies but they were never as pretty as your lures.
Cheers

Beautiful craftsmanship davent. Quality finish mate. I really like that little 'archerfish' lure, i reckon trout would hammer that.

I'm in Port Macquarie long way south, would love to head up that way someday, had a mate quite a few years ago living in the top end he was a very good fishing buddy and a very good rod builder his name was Colin V (lost contact with him about 15yrs ago), he had an uncle that ran a fishing charter business. When he would come back down to visit his family we'd go for a fish and the stories he would tell me were unreal. Never forgot him telling me when he first got there he was using a 3kg bream flicking stick and was getting smoked every second cast on saratoga and everything else that swims up there, not to mention casting at a huge sunken log about 15ft long that had 4 stubby branches and moved :lol: :lol: :lol: , same bloke would chuck a jitterbug on bass gear when he would hear jewies boofing needless to say he spent a lot on respooling :lol: :lol:, Definitely on my bucket list
