Greetings!

 

June's meeting: It's lure making part 2. At last month's meeting we painted up some Wades Wobblers and at this month's meeting we will be assembling the lures. There will be a few different kinds of dressings on hand to tie onto the rear hook if desired. Wade will have on hand some more blanks to paint but the top coat application will be on your own. We'll also have a few tackle making components on hand to repair and make other kinds of lures. If you have a Wades that needs some repair by all means bring those too. It'll be a great time to get those ready for the water too.

We hope to see you all there!
