Lure Making! Check This Out! Making a Dive and Rise Muskie Bait

[@marsbotbyl159]

Hey brother l think l figured It out. I'm using too long a piece of wire. It starts to twist in the center while not forming a nice loop eye. Rewatching all your videos on another rainy day. 😂

It is really great lure, thanks for sharing your content 😀🙏

[@marsbotbyl159]

Great video, l wondering how far from the nose to the end of your curve. Thanks

[@rg22outdooradventures88]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Honestly, I never really measured the distance. It was something I just drew and it looked good to me. I'll have to grab a measurement for you.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 I'm gonna guess according to the 1/2" eye about 4 1/2" you da man!

@@rg22outdooradventures88 just getting into serious lure building. Dabbled a bit in my younger years. The price of a lure is insane even being mass produced. Fellows like you a great inspiration!!!

[@marsbotbyl159]

Hey brother, did you end up putting weight into the lure?

[@rg22outdooradventures88]

@marsbotbyl159 never put any weight in it. Also retired it for now. I may have to make another tailsection for it.

What size hooks 4/0?

[@rg22outdooradventures88]

I think so. I can't remember if it was 4/0 or 5/0 but they are Mustad 5x extra strong.

[@marsbotbyl159]

@@rg22outdooradventures88 l use 5/0 extra strong on my spinners. That looks like a 4/0. Lots of big musky here in Niagara River and both lakes Erie and Ontario. I've seen them.

[@rg22outdooradventures88]

That's awesome... I'd love to get a musky out of Lake Erie. I have both 5 and 4/0 and don't remember which ones I used. Most likely they are 4/0.
