Home Made lures/ Fun for the kids

They look great, Randy. I think I saw some bodies for sale last time I
was in Barlow's Tackle. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime.

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 http://www.doctorbee.com/Fishing/fishideas.htm
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.

This is absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing, Baitgal!

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
