Those of us who have gone to the tackle shop to buy a few things before a fishing trip -- only to come out with a tiny bag and $150 lighter in the wallet -- might appreciate this.
I might also try to drop a couple of splitshot into the fold for casting weight and rattle-trap attraction.
Could even use a blade made from a pop top tab for a rotating blade.
Best,
Fred
I did precisely that once, and caught some very ferociaous toothy critters on it. It's too long a story, but the fish had bitten off all my lures and I had to improvise something
I put one of those together when I was just a kid and it became my go to large mouth bass lure, I didn't fold it though. I left it flat and it skipped along the surface on fast retrieve. That's when I realized bass will bite anything.
I remember reading about these lures in Field and Stream years ago, and republished a few times thereafter for the next beer drinking generations.
Very cool Fred!

PBR, the beer a my mis-spent youth, 'ed be my lure choice. Fred are the caps strong enough to hold swivels n' hooks on larger fish without rippin the tin? Know what yer talkin 'bout, spendin so much $, I gotta switch from a Hurricane spoon (Wallmart), to the biggest kastmasters and possibily Lure Jenssen krockadiles I can get, 'cause they'll reduce wind knots/backlashes while baitcastin, while the hurricane fludders all over the place 'cause a the design.
