Charles,
One of my favorite activities to do with my son during the cold
winter nights is to modify lures. I take the hooks off for him and give
him the options of what to do. I supervise all activities and we wear
appropriate safety equipment to do the modifications. He let's me do the
heavy work while he likes to do some custom painting. For more on the
modifications that I like to do, see:

It's an awesome activity as we get to spend time together, I get to
teach him about fire, tools and fishing (whoof!) and we create some
pretty good, fish catching baits. One of the highlights of my '03
fishing season was watching my 5 year old son wack a 3 lb. largemouth on
a Secret Weapon spinnerbait he put together during the winter. It had a
purple and yellow skirt, 3/16 oz head with silver & gold indiana blades
and a yellow grub for a trailer. He caught the only fish that night and
I had to endure the "I'm the man, you're not" chant all the way
home.......... It was epic!
