Lure Making

[ikeslayer]

hey are there any lure makers out there. I made a couple of prototypes of big top water stick baits. ONly problem is that i am afraid that they screw eyes will not hold up. I could open them just by pulling on them when they were in a lure. I know (i hope) i am a lot stronger than a fish but i am not sure if i am using the right screw eyes. Looking online at a lure making sight and it says that there are open and closed styles don't know if that would make a difference or not. Tell me what you all know thanks. ike

Ike , I've made quite a few lures. It can be a very fun way to help pass the winter. If you are able to open the eyes by pulling, you maybe need a little stronger. The reason they have open eye ones if for people that would rather use no o rings.. I have always used o rings so I buy the closed loop.

Make sure you Epoxy in your screws!
