Well I've always had the luremaking bug but it was never as bad as it is now. I used to just tie a few flies here and there, then I moved onto bigger and better things. It's been about 2 years since I started messing with musky baits and I'm making some good progress. I got an airbrush this year and have been picking up on that, and in the meantime I made the switch from wood to urethane plastic resin. It is amazing what you can do with this stuff! Many of the same characteristics as wood (density, durability, workability) without the hassle of sealing!! These are some 4" twitchbaits that I molded last week and just got finished.
