balsa trout woblers

so the last 3 month ive become more and more fund of fishing with woblers  in put and take well trout in general. 

poor as i am i decided to try and make some. and i found out it wasnt so hard. basic just scaling everything down from giant to tiny :) 

i made some thats 2.5cm with a single triple tail hook size 10, floating and goes down to about 0.5-1m depth.

and i made some 4-5cm lures aswell all floating and with 2triple  hooks they swim down to 1-1.5m.

was my first atempt and they came out pretty cool next time ill try intermediate / slow sink cant wait to get some fish on them :)

hope ya all had a great chrismas :)

how to make your own lips for balsa lures

donno if the pictures illustrate it well enough but basicly u need a heating tool a hammer and a hole puncher.

u can buy a hole puncher from size 2mm to size 50mm and probaly even bigger. u can allso make your own from a steel tube that u sharpen as good as u can sharper wont be nessesary.

u can use a gas tourch or a heat gun either way be carefull air bubbles can acure if heated to much or even burn

heres a picture of my setup.

so basicly u heat up the plastic to it goes a little soft then place the hole puncher and give it a good bash with your hammer.

if the plastic isnt heated enough it will either crack and explode. or the hole puncher wont go through. if its to warm and soft it will go out of shape. so yeah play around with it and find the right heat for your thickness of plexi glas or lexan.

if u got some questions feel free to msg me :)

2 crank bait from the silver surfer model

Updates from my new lame ass iphone.

Giant crank bait heading south to italy

heres another summer projekt ive been doing.

i build theese boxes for a forniture my girl friend wanted. i cut them and put them together and she wanted to paint them so that was some great team work right there and i think the turn out was quite amazing.

basicly the idea was to have  them all fit together in the end no matter how you would put them up on top of eachother
so i made the small ones 17.5cm x 35c
the medium ones 35cm x 35cm

then a single 47.5cm x 35cm
and a few 70cm x 35cm

in this way u would allways end up with the same hight.

finally an update on some lures i made over the summer.

as some of u probaly noticed i havnt really updated my blog the  last month. i think the main reason was the summer came and idd rather be out doing stuff such as fishing and outdoorish projekts but heres some of the lures i made over the summer and ill start building again really soon.


 i cant remember if i showed theese or not. so i thought idd add them again, after all i this lure so it wont hurt :).

                           heres 3 new jointed crank baits thats 28 cm and dives to bout 2-4meters

theese 3 i made as a vertical jiggin jerkbait tho i found out they are great as swim baits as well. once they dived wich they do as a sinking jerkbait. and u start retriving they keep the depth. with a kinda rolling action u can add a spinner blade or a soft bait tail or even a triple if u like :)

a few really old lures i had lieing around in some boxes i thought idd finished insted of trashing them i just didnt have the heart for it :).

theese tailbaits was just a spontainious idea, they did catch fish tho i didnt really like the action while jerking tho spin fishing they did good.

this is a glitter pike i made, i actualy made a brown a silver and a green one tho i forgot to take pictures before they were sold couse of a very spontainious buyer came by hehe. so heres a picture of the silver 1.

theese 3 small baby pike are 14.5cm and bout 50gram works superb got alot of fish on them this summer "reason the scratch marks on some of them".

this is a lure a friend of mine made, its hes very first lure so its quite impressive i helped him carve a few things but still mainly him. so i thought it was worth putting on the blog. its 14cm intermediate floating basicly 5cm under the surface.

first day of may 2013. 3 days pike trip.

just got home from a 3 days pike trip. crazy great weather and alot of brueatiful fish. we got pike up to allmost 7kg and around 35 of them total. the fish defenetly prefered trolling this time but we allso got a few spin fishing and jerking.

i allso got a chance to really test some of my new models and idea´s and yeah, once again the roach was crazy superior and out fished anything and everything else we tryed. allso had some mini pike jerks 12cm that suprised alot with quite a few fish in the boat.
spinnerbaits again suprised since i never belive in them even tho they prove there worth every time lol :).

anyway heres some pictures of the fish from tobias and my trip.
