In response to a few requests I have just completed a couple of new "epistles". One is on the increasingly popular "dropper jigs"...like the Hali and the Johnson Snare Spoons. The other is on working with wire to make your own spinner lures and dropper jigs, etc.
My aim is not to sell more of the stuff I make, but to help fellow tackle tinkerers to expand their range of options. Over the years I have had quite a few guys stop by my tackletorium for a quick lesson on how to make wire goodies without having to blow $100 on fancy wire bending equipment. Couple of simple tools and easy to learn techniques and you got it wired. But, as always, anyone who would rather see it done in person is welcome to visit my playroom. Also, I have a video on YouTube MAKE YOUR OWN SPINNER LURES . (Link) That shows some of the basics of working with wire.
I will also be making a video on the making and use of the dropper jigs...both for ice fishing and open water. And it will include more closeup shots of the wire bending techniques needed. Watch for the big splash announcement of it's release some time in the future.
