Thread: Shrimp bait made from a straw

That video should be accompanied by a warning saying that it's harder than it looks! Didn't have any clear straws so I tried a white one. Not nearly as good as the one in the video but not too bad for me.

Dave, that is a hell of a good job of scherenschnitte ! I know it is not paper ,but I think it qualifies . Thanks for sharing .

Dang good job for your first attempt I take it? It looks good in white.

Very good, Dave, how long did it take you to do it?

Picked me up some of the little shrimps at pierlures.com, they also have some sweet Cobia, pomp, and spanish lures...

Thank you. Had to look up 'scherenschnitte' because I was about to say, "God bless you".

Yes, first attempt. Third straw of the first attempt though.

Actually, only about thirty minutes. After you did it a few times I could see where you would get much faster. I kept having to start and stop the video on my Kindle Fire. I also didn't bother with the colored yarn, eyes or hook. I've tied some homemade shrimp flies just for fun and used heavy mono and burned the ends to replicate the eyes.

I see a Homemade Straw Shrimp Tourney coming soon!
