What do you make?

[Bob/MN]

It would be interesting to hear what kind of home grown tackle everyone makes.

[oldschooltiller]

My own leaders for Musky fishing, and my own Bass jigs, and that is about it.


When I see some of the home crafters/builders/painters post things they have built or painted it always blows me away. The Internet is one serious way of pooling talent.

[jignpig]

Spinners, sinkers, Bottom Bouncers, Spoons, slabs, Jigs, Spinnerbaits, buzzbaits.

[Wyn]

Right now nothing....unless you count tieing harnesses. I just got the supplies to paint my own blades. We'll see after I get into that a bit if I enjoy it enough to expand.

[jopes]

so far spoons, and tied a couple harness's up. But I think I will pick up a jig head mold next since I have a small supply of lead to put to good use.

[GreatWhiteNorth517]

6 different styles of jigs, split shot sinkers, bottom bouncers, snap weights, spinner rigs, bucktail jigs, large flies for northerns, slip floats, bobber stop knots

Wyn:

Of course harnesses count! I would include anything in your make-my-own list that you can either make cheaper or better than you can buy it. . .that's why harnesses count.

Along with harnesses, I mess around with colors a bit, using tape, paint, nail polish--you name it.

[adempsey]

I've made harnesses, bucktail jigs, bucktails and marabou tails for inline spinners, ice fishing jigs for panfish and pike/musky flies.

Mostly easy stuff. Perhaps at some point I'd like to try some rod building and knife making.
