Ive made a few myself some are unfinished ,I use 1.2mm aluminium sheet for bibs .
Poppers are made from an old coffee table leg ,got three more to use up .
The mullet lure is made from African Mahogany .

Sort of got sidelined with building a boat trailer .Will get back to finishing the lures soon.
The unfinished ones are carved from a native bush apple wood ,nice to carve has a nice straight tight grain

Hi BlueyNT,

They do look nice.

I sometimes think that I would love to be able to make some...
Then I realise that first I wouldn't know where to start.
And more importantly how I can be dangerous with tools, not just for other, but for myself too...
:bonk:

And that is usually enough to stop me in my track...
:lol:

Have a good day,
Pecheur

Thats the go

I suppose they would be about 40mm long and about 30mm wide at the front into about 20mm where it go's into the timber. Thanks mate

I found the "shallow" bibs; they are roughly 25 mm long, 15 mm across the top and 10 mm across the bottom, 1.5 mm polycarbonate.
I’ll dig around and see if I can find the “deep” bibs.
I’ll let you know.
