First plastic baits by me

Well where to start, I have been quite busy with mold making and figuring out weighting etc. I can really say that im enjoying it so nice to be able spend more time painting and making more detailed baits. First of all my chublet swimmer/ jointed jerkbait worked much better than i could have expected it really does look like a fish in the water. I have taken one out for a quick hour test and had 2 strikes from pike, Which i think is not bad for switzerland then another day i tried a unpainted one because i was tweeking the weight/balance etc and had another 2 hits. So needless to say im happy with them, lets see what you think.....

I also made a few slider style lures i really like the action of them, very easy to fish and quite versitile anyway heres some pictures.

I have been working on some other jerkbait styles but their not ready yet. I think ill be updating this blog soon with more stuff but for now ill leave you with some under construction photos....

And heres a not so good swim test video of the chub/roach swimmer..

New stuff at last

I havent been updating my blog for a while because i didnt really have anything to write about. I have been working alot through the summer so i didnt have much time and the rain this summer in switzerland has been so bad. Most rivers have been flooded or so muddy there was really no point even trying. Also my boat got damaged by this rubbish weather so been trying to sort things out. Anyway now work has slowed down so I started to build again, and been upgrading my equipment. I purchased a harder and steenbeck infinity airbrush and a new compressor, so i should be able to do more detailed paint jobs. I have also ordered some silcone and polyurethane for casting plastic lures. I made one mold master so far and working on the second heres some pics.

I had bought some plastic blanks when i ordered some other stuff and last night was trying out the new airbrush on a few of them. They are 5.5cm.

I have been also working on some new models so looking forward to getting them painted up.

So i have got loads to work on and hopefully not too long till the next update. Tight lines and thanks.

Checking out a new river

Well i still dont seem to have much time for doing anything really at the moment apart from work. I was away for a couple of days, and managed to check out a new river. Unfortunatly i didnt bring a rod but i will be going back soon. It is a very typical small trout river running through a gorge, i did see alot of trout and a couple of big ones. Anyway it was such a nice scenic place i thought  id post some pictures and here they are

I hope to be out fishing a bit in the next weeks and doing some lure building as i have some free time. thanks for reading and till the next post..

A quick session out on a small river

I havent had so much time recently for my fishing activities because of work. It sucks my busyest work time is in the summer, my favourite fishing time. Anyhow i managed to slip in a quick session one day i was fishing on a very small river which has a good population of trout, barble and chub. I didnt have much time so decided to bring just my ultra light set up, Im really enjoying ultra light fishing at the moment(great fun). It turned out to be a very good session for switzerland i caught lots of brown trout and a couple of small chub. Here are some pictures of the day..........
