BOOKLET #1, Fishing Lure Design Templates 
Subject 9, Topwater Lures from Polywood 
 
 
 
 
 
Not since primitive men figured out how to make artificial fish bait; has a more perfect fishing lure making material been introduced. Industrial Polymers Inc. POLYWOOD.  
 
Polywood weighs 1/2 the same mass of water, and can be made even lighter with the addition of more micro-sphears (micro ballons). 
 
Since Game Fish, amphibious food sourse creatures, such as frogs, salamanders, & insects do not float on water like a cork; neither should the fishing  lures designed to replicate them.

DESCRIPTION 
 
Figure. 1. demonstrates how a Top Water Lure made of polywood, with the weight of hooks added, will float slightly more submerged than center. 
 
As with the Zero Buoyancy applications; this lure can be fine tuned to float high or low on the surface. 
 
The “Pop-R” configuration can be made longer, and will accept additional belly hooks. 
 
You may notice that I have placed the belly hook to be more forward than most lures of this type. 
 
I believe that preditor gane fish aim for the head of their prey using the eyes as a target. 
 
As you begin to design and creat a master plug of a lure such as these; you have the ability to play creatively and depart from designs the big three lure makers have been shoving over the counter for the last fifty years. 
 
As a lure designer you have the ability to make changes that may more resemble a life-like creature (food sourse). 
 
The real nifty part of making a design like these better; is ultimately fine tuning the design & colors to match the hatch in your geographic fishing waters.
