Making Soft Offshore trolling lures.

PiePuncher · 03-29-2007, 05:36 PM

Any of you guys do it? I am considering pumping out a good 10-12 using the methods I have read about on other forums. Anyone ever add actuall fish skin or scales to their head molds? I will be using pill bottles to make the heads. Any tips or anything you guys can tell me? What's the best place and cheapest to get skirts? Thanks

I have too much time on my hands and this sounds like it could be fun and could possibly save me some money down the road.

Keep an eye on the clearence section on Charkbait. They had some skirts discounted recently. Otherwise, watch ebay. Buy just once from a seller before placing multiple orders. i have bought some good stuff, for good prices and junk too.

I have a bunch of yozuris I will sell at below cost just to you guys. I don't use 12 and 14 in skirts. I think these are great skirts, but they are hard to use on my high speed stuff.
They are impossible to find anymore, but keep it between you guys, I don't want a bunch of people calling me for cheap skirts. Like I said friends only.
