Homespun

Well trout season is fast approaching, and with it a determination to fish the hell out of it. The notion of that gets expensive real fast, considering the tight spots I like to fish for trout in--small, shallow streams with a gauntlet of lure attracting rocks and fallen limbs, beaver dams with, well...beaver dams, all of these scenarios of course surrounded by all manner of plantlife with a particular appetite for hooks. I'd say I lose a good ten plus lures a year to these conditions. Now perhaps this introduces the more significant issues of "angler competence" and "casting accuracy", to which I say "BAH! I'll just make me a bunch of my own lures for dirt cheap and cast the way I wanna cast!" Which is exactly what I have done. I visited Jann's Net Craft and ordered a bunch of parts, enough in fact to make roughly 75 in-line spinners, ranging from sizes 0-2. Here's a picture of the first three I made. I've since made about 15 more.
