A mate of mine turns up pens for sale and i asked him for a couple of pieces of the acrylic he uses to have a go at making a lure out of it..Can't fish with it it sinks like a rock but it looks pretty...Mick!!!

Looks awesome Mick, especially cool how you can see the bib inside the lure Clap bummer about the sinks like a rock though Confused

Maybe you could use that property of acrylic in your favour and make some Ice Jigs for Bass fishing, or some "Sexy Slugs"  Wink
Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.

Mick, very nice job Clap
There's a huge range of colours around, Is it a bugger to carve?? or more a machine sand and finish by hand proposition???

Yeh Brad i did put carving lines on it to carve but the stanley knife wasn't happy so i just linished it then fine wet n dry used wet to clean all the linish marks out then my mate told me just to use brasso to shine it...so just used my Dremmel with a buffer soaked in brasso....Thanks for the kind comments guys Clap
