New lure

Hello everyone. I wanted to show you a lure I am working on. It will be a creeper style lure when it’s done. Let me know what you guys think :slight_smile:

Excellent Finishing!

Now, it’s the hook placement which is crucial at this stage. Where do u intend to place the hook ? Treble at the back ?

Frogs lure tend to be used at weedy areas cos that’s where the tomans and haruans lurk. However, having a treble at the back means it will not be snag proof. U can cut away the hook that’s pointing downwards in the treble but the hook up properties also diminishes.

So u gotta do a trade off…

hi Jason

welcome 2 MFN

Thanks guys for the feedback :). BlackBassHunter I plan on putting two dressed treble hooks for the legs in the back and one belly hook. It will not be weedless so I hope it doesn’t get snagged up and lost [:0]

FatRap that is a cool looking profile! It almost looks like a popping walk the dog lure. Hows the action on it?

Nice stuff guys, ya I do agree using a double hook be more suitable for weedy area, so guess Jason u’d have to use urs in open area without snags.

Hey FatRap, eyes on ur lure also no need kah? Getting stingier by the day? [:D][:D][:D][:D]

I’ve had the same glitter problem. I added it to the epoxy and i had some pieces poking throught the epoxy. I would think another coat of epoxy would cover it up.

Thanks Angker! I have tried it but only briefly. This one was made for someone so I didn’t want to risk losing it. I have a nice testing area that is snag free. It swam really well! I took about 20 casts to see how it swam before sending it out. I was very happy.

It seems very nice…
