JONG CHOOL DO That was an amazing video. Generally amazed by your patience and talent for both crafting and fishing. Could you post a video of maybe how you would eat these? I would love to see the whole process from crafting the bait/flies to actually preparing the dish.
Fantastic! It must be so innately satisfying, hooking up on a homemade lure such as this work of 'Origame'. Full marks to you - and I'm sure they'd work well on many fish species as well as the Egi, too.
That shrimp look so real I'm going to the dollar store for a box of straws. This is going to be a fun project to share with my friends during the summer rock fish season.
Other than the hook should be reversed because shrimp swim backwards. That was pretty darn awesome. Thanks for sharing that i made a few and the rainbow trout seemed to agree there great. Cheers.
+MrJodysharpe You made this straw shrimp and caught fish with it? Nice work. And yeah like you said, hook should be other way around. Going to try and make one myself just for fun. Guess it can be worth a shot to fish with after reading your comment. Would think though that a normal shrimp fly would be far more effective. More movement in the water. But this one for sure looks cool and seems fun to make.
Great survival knowledge. I've tried 3 times & I suck horribly. Determined to know this. I wonder how many fish u can catch with it till it's destroyed. Probably not many. Awesome resourcefulness.
Absolutely amazing.the dexterity,the patience i congratulate you. i wonder if it would catch other than cuttle fish. it is worth trying.doubt i can reproduce such a perfect lure but i love the idea.bravo!
Just made 4 of these and by the 4th I feel like a pro! Thank you for this excellent video. I'm going to make some shrimp puree and inject these for attractant. They just look so real.
amazingly innovative, so many thanks. Really admire the transition from imagination to matter and you did it effectively. I ll try making it for squids too. Who knows...might get lucky with em.
Very cool. Two things that came to mind. After putting this much time into a lure I think I would have either used a stainless or a tinned hook. We make our sabikis with gold hooks and they are basically done with after one use. Watching you cast I was thinking wouldn't be a shame to pop that thing off after the first cast. I know that was a soft action rod but jeez you really snapped that cast off. Nice music with the vid.
Excellent craftmanship and an inspiring video I/G!!! I'm on my 5th straw shrimp making and improving on working with it though i doubt i'll reach your craftiness. Certain details you so subtly point out throughout the video are very helpful and a great guide on how to. I guess my 20th straw will produce an acceptable lure compared to your's. Having tried myself i can say it needs lots of focusing, patience and very crafty fingers.
Awesome work! I just have some questions: Can' t we use fluorescent markers for the internal organs of the shrimp and a CD marker for its eyes? These markers are usually textile, so it would make the whole project a bit cheaper and easier. We could also bend the black pins, if we finally keep them, so they won' t come off so easily, and they could be used as extra hook as well. I don' t know if it will look the same(probably less luring...), but I thought it would be a good alternative, if we can' t find the original parts of this shrimp imitation. :-) The original one is a masterpiece, nevertheless. Greetings from Greece, as well.
