My anchor is made from rope and a rock! Does that count? Haha.

I make my own leaders and harness spinners too... They seem to hold up to the test of time quite well. I'll try to post a photo if I get time.

Those ice fishing rods are really neat!

 

Thanks shasta!!! The rods work real well, balanced & sensitive good for any species of fish, I love'em :)

My stuff isn't "pretty"....I'm not good at that, but I can make some functional things! LOL. I can't even come close to the baits people make on here but I have a table saw and I can use it if I have to!

 

A while ago, when I had a canoe, I made a stabilizer arm for it out of scrap wood, a few c clamps and some styrofoam I got cheap. Everything was held together with wing nuts and bolts for easy assembly. Here are the pictures.

I also made a motor stand for my first outboard...once again, using spare 2x4s and a 2x8 and purchasing 4 casters, I came up with this...

Here are some floats I've made.

The first two are asian style floats, I've been having a blast using them on carp this year. The next three are some simple balsa wagglers. The last two are traditional goose quills. I like to use them for perch and other pannies..

Lures, Flies, Jigs, Floats, Rods, Wading Staffs, Boat Mods and likely much more over the years.

It`d take me a month of Sundays to post pictures. :D

 

But I`ve also noted over the years there`s no lack of amazing talent on this forum. thumbsup_anim.gif

I made only one lure when I was a kid. I made a spoon using a spoon. I bent it repeatedly until the handle came off and then drilled holes. I didn't catch anything with it.

Howzbout a big ole wooden box for carrying all my 10" Boo-Tails

 

It's not fancy but it keeps everything in it's place and the air holes let the baits dry out after a day of fishing.

 

I no longer have this box but it was something like 12 x 20 x 12

Here is a couple of things that I helped make:

 

A small project at a fishing camp up north - ALL THE CREDIT FOR THE CRAFTSMANSHIP GOES TO SKUD, I just helped.

 

As it was when (w)he started:
