You can get RTV off TradeMe but I've found the better quality stuff is from Topmark Products. Yeah the brass tube forms an effective leader hole and also allows the lure to be turned on a lathe. I don't know about plastic tube as I haven't tried any. |

Hey Murph, Jims book arrived this morning in the post, looks great. I have some reading to do on his style of lure making, and I also got some of his chronical books also. By the way what have you named your vessel, or have I missed the big announcement? |

Murph wrote: They're custom lures, each ones a little different from the last!! The basic shape works well, if I want to vary the action then I'll take measurements and adjust accordingly however each one that I've tested has performed equally as well. I've put that last blue one aside for you if you want it mate, just PM me your address and I'll send it away to you. |
