mepps Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Heres a video Jon put together with some highlights of my home made spinners. I had to rebuild a lure after cutting it to make hook removal easier on a good size pike. This lure caught 40+ inch pike beofre and after reconstruction!

Nemo Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Awesome video. Great idea to show how to build the bait.. You almost lost that rod though :0. So did Jon get to fish or was he filming the whole time? Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennesseeGuy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Nice fishing and thanks for the video. It also proves to Jim that you have all your fingers. He really fell for your finger cutting report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepps Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 We took turns filming and fishing, sadly I messed up the video of Jons biggest fish This video was jsut to show some of teh fish caught on my own lures. Jon was using Mepps lures 99% of the time. The next video wil have footage of both of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbayboy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Great vid guys, love the lure making details and of course watching you pull the monster in to the boat was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Bass Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Definately fun to watch! I like the lure modifying bit! And a nice Pike to boot at the end!!! The music was very unique. Looking forward to the next vid!!! Edited June 27, 2007 by Johnny Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepps Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Making a basic spinner bait is pretty easy (as you saw) it only when you start dressign them, and making big ones that it gets hard (and expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyman Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Keep those vids coming. Makes me want to start making my own lures too. I imagine there's some satisfaction that goes along with that. Nice gator too Clive. I'd like to hear more of what you're saying in the videos,although the music was cool. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mepps Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Sadly we dont have a very good mic system yet - and the cold winds really cover up the dialog unfortunetly. We are trying to cut out the wind, and increse the rest of the volume, but its no easy task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
