Here’s welcoming the other citizen of the world to MFN.

Skeeter, says he wants to learn but b4 that can happen we have alot to learn from him. His lures are very sought after where he hails & in short demand. I’m very lucky to own one. Here’s a pic to make u drool: http://www.pbase.com/sebarau/image/40048539

Cheese has some beautiful cranks, he does lure molding as well: but I can’t find any of his lure pics in TU, where are they Cheese???

Siebler is an enigma in making good soft plastic lure and swimbait but too bad he cannot take good pictures & haven’t sent me any for a photo session

MaddoxBay makes cool cranks and u really have to see his paint jobs, some are simply amazing. A few of his work in TU gallery: http://www.tackleunderground.com/photos/profile.php?uid=1089

Ah Nathan, let this review of his lure speak for him: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewbettencourtbaitsrfbluegill.html

Again, a warm welcome to u guys & I appreciate u guys taking the time from ur busy schedules to be here & share ur knowledge of lure making with us. Thnaks Guys.

On behalf of Team Longkang Gang of Malaysia, we would like to extend our warm welcome to all the lure makers from TU into joining MFN. There are a lot of sportfishing lure anglers here in MFN and we believe we would be able to learn a lot from you guys in the making of lures.

Cheers! [;)]

Another one coming, invited by LaPala. I’m from Japan, also one of TM & TU members and crazy about making lures like the others do.
I’ve fished Barramundi, Snakehead, Pasific Tarpon and maybe some of you fish the same fish in Malaysia. (Please tell me your honey spots in secret and I’ve been there at once.[:)])

I have my own site and it has some lure making tutorials.(Link below.)

Angker,
I’m not sure what you mean by “RM”..Nathan

Lapala · March 17, 2006, 1:21am

Nathan: RM = Ringgit Malaysia, ie Malaysian dollar which is roughly 3.8 to one USD.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. LaPala is too kind. LP as we call him is quite a baitmaker too. ( I am still waiting for one of his hand carved baits). Lets get to work. I would like to know what types of wood do you make your baits from.

Wow… U must be a mechanical engineer. Does ur job require CFD? What software are u using? I took that subject back in uni but i dont apply it in my current job, so forgot everything. There’s very few CFD specialist around, Its good to know someone who know how to apply it! I used CFDAce btw… Bloody expensive software. any idea where i get a ciplak one? Ha ha..

fishingboy:I’m sure CFD studies & FEA even on existing lures will be a very interesting look into how a lure perform. If u’re up to it, why don’t u start on some existing production lures and post ur findings here. Some questions I have as a lure builder includes: Does body shape influence the action of a lure & to what degree (not empirically of course, but with solid mathematical data to support the conclusion)? Can a lure’s hydrodymatic improve on it’s dive depth instead of relying more on the lips to dig? I’ve got lots more actually, maybe one day we can get togather & talk about this
