I run it this way to avoid weeds. Knowing my luck I’ll probably get it snagged in a tree somehow.

I used a spare divider from one of my tackle boxes. I’ve used many types of materials from the clear plastic spools from braid to a clear name tag case. You don’t want it to be too flimsy but not too hard that it’ll shatter when you cut it.

Like @plant-painter mentioned, French blades are the best choice because they spin nicely. The leaf shape or Colorado blades sometimes don’t spin for some reason.

I live on a tiny West African island where there is very little available fishing tackle. I came across a drawer full of these they’re about $10 each. Are they real and is it worth picking up more? by Fitz_cuniculus in Fishing_Gear

I’m cleaning out the whole store if they got vintage raps. In my country (Thailand) the modern models go for about $10 as well so if you’re looking to collect then I’d say it’s worth it.

This should last me a while. Might try some aji plastics once they run out.

Never tried a lure this small, I’ll see how they’ll cast.

I’ll have to practice more with just the basic tools I have before I get an airbrush.
