SFC - sorry mate, dont know your name - they look the goods mate!
Experimenting is half the fun, very few lures of any kind off the shelf cant be improved by us dumboes who fork out the big coin for something that needs to be weighted, hardware up-graded, trimmed, boiled, painted, rattled, silenced, scent added, all part of the game to find the compromise between improved action/results, and the dampening affect over customizing can create.
I reckon somethings going to eat them no worries.
Super glue is sweet, I use it on my leader knots in heavier line class, I just change it over after a day or 2, no particular reason, just eliminating a possible weak point.
Yeah, I know, learn to tie a good leader knot, but I like the allbrite, its just a little loose with 80 leader.
Very much looking forward to that first pic of jack or barra on lure - stick at it!
