Default Home Made lures/ Fun for the kids

Your'e welcome
You might want to crinkle some foil or paper in the center to give it some
hollowness (correct word?) and bouyancy.
One could probably ad a rattle to the center also.
A small balloon blown up a little to mold onto might work.
Just dont leave the balloon in while cooking....lol!
One could proabaly also make catfish bait holders with that clay also?
I think the skys the limit working with this medium.
And no...I'm not taking a picture of my froggy bait I made...maybe of some
others later

I've been messing with polymer clay for making lures and it's not too
expensive plus fun for kids also.
Here's some jig head ideas

and http://www.polymerclaycentral.com/fishinglures.html for some others
and one main site with free plans http://www.polymerlures.com/

The first one I made was a frog of blue back and green belly.....then

off
the legs I put red embroidery thread to look like trailing blood.
What was cool was I put a small piece of foam in it's belly with a small
hole to let water in and air out and when I retrieve it, it lets out

tiny
air bubbles.
Haven't tried it out yet tho.
