Rod Caster Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) 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...

Float Buddha Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 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. But I`ve also noted over the years there`s no lack of amazing talent on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolson Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
