My first home made lure was when I spent two months backpacking hawaii. I was hiking along a fresh water stream and i had my diving mask on me. We came to this deep pool of water and I took a look with my mask and there were huge monster bass everwhere!! I took some dental floss, saftey needle for line and hook, bent the needle into a hook like shape. Then I cut my shoelace and placed it on my needlehook. WHile I was in the water I would cast my dental floss and I could watch the bass attack my bait. Every time I would go to set the hook my satey needel/hook would bend out. I was so far back country these fish have prob. never seen a lure before. I want to go back to that creek so BAD...when a real pole next time!
