Nothing feels better than eating a fish you caught on a lure you made. This lure is an easy project and could be done with young children but the hooks and knife are sharp.

Materials and Tools

You will need:
A bottle cap plastic or metal
A wine cork
Two plastic eyes
Two treble hooks
Three eye screws
A knife
Pliers

Screw one of the screws through the cap. You may need to punch a hole with a nail and hammer.

This is an updated version. The hooks go throughout the body so they aren't pulled out easily. I fly tied two hooks together an made a tail. Then, I cut a slot in the bottom and put the hook in the cork and glued it in. I punched a hole in the cap to fit over the eyes of the hooks and screwed it in.
