► Description: |
To catch a fish with a lure that you made
yourself is one of the most satisfying
experiences an angler can have. This book
explains, with detailed instructions and
hundreds of superb illustrations, how to
craft fishing lures that are more
effective than those you buy. By making
your own lures youll beat the high cost of
tackle, while developing a creative and
satisfying hobby that requires just a few
tools and easily obtained materials.
Lurecraft shows how to design lures for
local waters, so theyre better suited to
regional conditions and catch more fish.
The author explains the science of fish
attraction-why lures appeal to fish-and
covers tools, materials, and basic
techniques for working with wood, metal,
wire, and paint. Youll learn to build
plugs, surface lures and poppers,
spinners, spoons and buzzers, jigs, trout
lures, steelhead and salmon lures, and
lures for big water fishing. This classic
book, newly updated for the twenty-first
century fisherman, includes an
illuminating step-by-step guide to
carving, painting and finishing lures,
along with a colorful photo gallery of
hand-carved lures based on the authors
designs.
