Hello New Zeland Anglers
My new Attila Fat Minnow “S” …. “S” because it is sinking action… is a lure made from Balsa wood and I thought to designed it with the purpose for spinning fishing with long casts from the saltwater shore. But I am sure this lure will work very well with other fishing ways and conditions. In particular, I want to use it to catch some Flounders and Corvinas (Weakfish).
This first prototype is a sinking one, but also, I am doing Suspending and Floating versions… it will depend on the fishing conditions and kind of fish that I will be looking for.
Actually this video is Part 1 of two videos. In Part 1 I do a quick summary of main steps that I followed to do it … Here is the list of materials and tools I used:
Materials:
Tools:
- Cutter
- Steel ruler, Vernier Caliper
- Sand paper # 180, 200, 400
- Limes
- Hacksaw, Fine saw
- Drill
- Vise
- Pliers
After this first introduction video, a second one will come as Part 2 where I’m going to show the finishing summary: Aerograph painting, holograms, eyes, gills, etc….
In parallel I am preparing and editing a four (maybe five) chapters series with all the details in each step.
I hope you like this video, thank you for watching and please give me your comments. Whoever wants please give a LIKE after watching the video.
Have a safe fishing…
