| Home made spoons While trying to pass the time till my next trip to the beech i have attempted to make some spoons and was wondering if anyone else had tried this and if they had any sucess with them. I have made 4 out of table spoons and was going to set two of them up onto a 2 hook rig. I was thinking about painting them as well as some of the ones ive seen in shops are red or orange etc.     |

| Re: Home made spoons I seem to remember Portland Jon (I think) recycled some of his old cutlery into some rather fab looking spinners or spoons, can't find the thread but will have another look. __________________ It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming. ~John Steinbeck |

| Re: Home made spoons Hi Tony Yes I posted about the home made lures last year. After testing them at Portland Bill I found that the fork and spoon handles were too light to cast any great distance but are still useful for close in work. The best ones by far are the knife handle lures. Instructions below. - Cut a handle off a knife. - Drill a small hole at the end for a split ring and a small hole half way along one edge for another split ring. - Cut a jelly worm or rubber eel in half and superglue the tail to the rear of the lure. I find that it takes at least 30 seconds of pressure to stick. - Add a treble hook to the second split ring. And there you have it, one cracking lure that is deadly for bass and pollack and casts like a bullet. If anyone wants to join me any time for a spot of luring just give me a shout. And here's the proof. Jon  Quote:
