				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. |
