Care And Repair Of Fishing Lures
By Keith Lee, Sat Dec 10th
Making lures may be easy for the seasoned do-it-yourselfangler. But the maintenance of these lures is just as importantto ensure a tip-top condition. After buying or making the lures there is still theresponsibility of taking care of and repairing them so that theyare always in good condition. This requires some effort and timebut is usually easy for the angler who makes his own fishinglures. Since he makes them and puts them together, he also knows how totake them apart and repair them. He also has the tools andfishing lure parts necessary for such work. All the toolsrequired to assemble the parts and make the lures are explainedon this page athttp://www.make-your-own-fishing-lures.com/hand-tools.html .
Fishing lures in general do not require much care when storingthem in a home or shop. The best idea is to put them intocabinet drawers or individual boxes so that they can be foundeasily and can be kept dry. In humid climates or near theseashore it is important not to expose the metal parts to theair; otherwise, hooks will rust and other metals will corrode. Fishing lures that have feathers or hair should be kept inairtight containers so that moths and other insects or smallanimals will not get to them. This also applies to new fishinglures that haven't yet been used. Lures which have been usedrequire
considerable care if you want to get the maximum usefrom them. Freshwater lures usually require less careand repair than saltwater ones. In general, when examining any lure you have made orbought it's a wise policy to repair it if you are the least bitdoubtful about its condition. Repairing usually meanssandpapering the part of the lure body that is slightly chippedand then touching up with a small brush, using enamels orlacquers. Replace the hooks with new ones if they are badly rusted. Whendoing this it is important to use the same size and weight asthe old ones so that the action of the lure is notchanged in any way. If the damage is too bad and the lure cannotbe repaired, throw it away after salvaging any usable parts. It doesn't pay to take chances with a lure that is weakin any way. You may hook a record fish but lose it if the lureis not dependable. Many anglers who buy their lures intackle stores often use them until they fall apart, beforebuying new ones. But if you make your own lures you canafford to use only those that are still in good condition. It is better to be safe than sorry.
