Do you have pics of the lures you're trying? I'd really like to see them, I can imagine that the light and colors of the lures could be really effective.

I'll try to take some pictures and post them of the ones I have collected over the years. Not promising anything but I'll try.

Those are some nice looking lures. My wife is into the glass fusing herself and I've been suggesting for some time that she make me some spoons. She just looks at me like I'm crazy, "why waste my dichro on something like, it'll just get lost or broken", and instead she makes earrings, change trays, or other strange decorations.

I showed her your guy's lures, she thought they were pretty, but I don't think I managed to convince her to spare some of her glass.

I must say that after about a year and a half of fishing them, not one ding; the finish is just as amazing as the day I received them. One unusual thing about them, they want to rise up to the surface when fished slow...very strange. When I troll with them I use a small keel weight in line and that seems to take care of it. I have tossed them into rocks and bounced them off the bottom. The colors are so deep and iridescent they look life like.

Do they catch fish? They look very flashy and would seem to provoke a strike! I've got a lot of questions... Do you use them to fish for trout? Bass? Steelhead? I would think a salmon would go for a large one with no need to use a flasher, etc. How do you make "dichro" glass? I'd like to give it a try. Some of the patterns look very fishable and the duribility factor stated by Troutski sounds promising.

The surface of a dichroic piece itself actually has no color but rather consists of extremely thin multilayers of semi-reflective material. One might compare the dichroic surface to a stack of micro-thin mirrors layered one on top of the other. The stuff looks so nice when applied to a sweet spinner or something, like earring shape maybe. Dichro is hard to work with effectivly considoring this glass is going IN the water to catch fish and not sitting on your buddies coffee table filled with water looking cool enough to take bong rips from. You know there are alot of glass art places around here you can always call em up and see if 100 lures is worth it. It would be.

If that lure is glass, what if a total hoggish fatty lunker snapped it in half, then killed itself by scratching his throat or mouth?
