Thanks for your message. I got this knife from a Japanese diy store. It is about $4.00 but very sharp. However, the blade of this knife can't be resharpened, so I need to buy a replacement blade. *Knife company homepage (Japanese): www.olfa.co.jp/products/568.html
Very nice lure, as always. At about 11:28 into this video, you drill a small hole in the corner of the blade you're making for the tail section. That hole probably serves a purpose, but I can't see what it is! Could you explain?
Thank you very much. The small drill holes in the blade have the effect of strengthening the adhesive. The epoxy adhesive will pour into the blade hole, preventing the blade from falling off the lure.
Thanks for the question. I bought them in Japan and I think it was sold under the name "Universal scissors (Japanese: Ban-nou Hasami)". Sometime ago, I also tried to find it in the USA Amazon store. I found scissors and tools for cutting metal plates, but unfortunately, I could not find the same scissors that I use. -- Reference web site -- *Japanese Amazon store.

Thank you for your message. This lure weighs about 18 grams and is about 115 mm in total length. I have a lure template if you would like to take a look. *Lure template for Plopper Bait (PDF): drive.google.com/file/d/1UlMy_2W4BTObFuiamW3NLFhHfMX2MR1h/view?usp=sharing .
Bonjour !, thank you for your message. In most cases, I make the lures I want, but I also make lures that are requested. For example, I made this Plopper lure after receiving a request on RU-vid about two years ago.
