Title: Brush Handle Lure
Post by: Bill B on March 27, 2016, 03:39:09 AM
Ok....I'm bored....the handle fell off my kitchen scrub brush and I thought it might make a good top water stick bait..so I drilled the handle, filled the big holes with hot glue, threaded some dacron, tied a swivel and shrimp fly and now have the bright orange Handle Lure....guess I need a new hobby....maybe reel repairs....LOL

Good idea, Bill! Like Marc said, that should get the job done. It's amazing what boredom does to we, fishermen, lol
Nice job and good color,
Dom

Thanks guys...the water is finally clearing and dropping here on the Sacramento Delta.....gonna try it out tomorrow after a quick trip out for turkey season.....good thing the field is just over the levee and a 5 min walk......California opened turkey to air rifle.....much easier to hunt with air rifle here than shotgun...

TB....almost....that's the Ma Deuce Ling Cod Killer....from a BMG .50 Cal case and 10 oz of lead....gonna be using it next week in SoCal....There is a post here in Lures that explains the assembly.....but thinking maybe 7.62 NATO might be a good size.....Bill
