Made my first marlin lure
Probably should put this in the plug making forum but they are mostly interested in inshore fish. I made a wood plug, then made a silicon mold and poured the hard plastic. It has a 2 oz egg sinker inside to bring it to 4 oz or so. The skirts were replacement skirts I had on hand. It hasn't seen water yet so how it swims at speed is TBD but I like the looks of it. It resembles an old Murray Bro's lure with a black bart style ass end but has slightly different dimensions and weight. I will experiment more over the winter with different shapes but I hope to test swim this next weekend during the Nantucket Big Game Battle.
