Getting started -- Useful links for plug building beginners

[bunkerjoe4]

We will attempt to translate but in the mean time this can be used.

There have been some inquiries from some sites in other countries. They want to post here, but the translation would be a problem.

Meanwhile, some of these sites have great fishing experiences to relate. I'm always interested in knowing how people in other places approach fishing, what fish they catch, how they make their plugs, what the conditions are like, etc.

I thought it would be helpful if we could find a way to translate if there was ever a communication problem, so I put this tutorial up for you folks. Just go through the steps I have outlined, and follow the babelfish instructions.

I see Stripercrazy has been busy posting. It seems like he is getting ready to dive into the world of plug building. (What a fool)

I thank him and others for putting these threads where they belong, as I have neglected this forum lately.

Good ideas are coming, and this is only one of them. Members, feel free to contact me if you have others. If enough people contact me with the same good idea, we will try to make it happen for you folks.

Feel free to put any links about resources for the business and legal side of plug building here.
