pure tins

[Bucho]

I used to use 95% hard tin alloy for my casting spoons, but recently I got a decent offer for the 99% shiny-heini-real deal. Looks better, flows better and is easier to bend to custom s-shape.



couple of sömmet (danish inline design) knockoffs for my private fishing and some minnow spoons that have made a good impression on me so far.


Shad bait lures have been a surprise success for cod, wonder what they can do for me in freshwater.



shad spoons, not a bad sprat imitation. Casts like hell even into heavy wind yet has so much action you feel the lure working from 70 yards out.



Flutter Jigs


For sale, I like the foolproof no-nonsense swivel and siwash setup. For my private fishing however I prefer a pair of assist hooks looped into a solid ring that you can just thread through the wire eye. Sure hookup on light tackle and easy on the many small seatrout we have at this time of year.

I`m very happy with the shad bait mold (Edit: I meant the shad SPOON mold, sorry!) I bought it mainly to have a 1oz lure for heavy wind, but with the water cooling down these days the little inline cavity is starting to distignuish itself as a real producer. A friend of a guy who I gave some samples to caught 5 very nice salty rainbows in the 20" range (fish farm escapees) with it the other day. I´ve seen kitchen pics of them, they were perfectly silver and must have been living free in the salt for at least 6-10 months. After that time salty bows get really fat and picky, I must say that´s an excellent catch. I never heard of more than two of such fish being caught at once.

Today it got me this autum´s first decent cod


I highly recommend this mold for use in open water, especially as an inline modulation. You can leave the insert spares open and use it both ways. Jigged the right way, it also has a terrific rotating slow-fall action similar to a ZZinger salmon jig.

Always nice to discover something you created works.

Those cod good eat'n? We get a different type of cod over here (west coast of US)

are the most common, but when lucky, a ling cod is a pre-historic fish that's quite tasty

I've caught them up to 20 pounds, but they do get bigger.

They are the bread- and butter fish of the local commercial fishery here and well apreciated. Personly, I find them a bit indifferent and usually give them away to people I owe a favor or two. I prefer the kind you call rock cod which used to be the go-to deep fried fish in restaurants but has gone down in stock and way up in price recently. We don´t have them here, they live a far cry up north. Have heard of lingcod, badass fish, scores pretty high on my bucket list! If I ever happen to get near one I will definetly target it.
