Unique Finnish Lures

by Petri  Muuttoranta

We all know the huge  influence Scandinavian designers and fishermen have had on fishing world wide!

A new aquaintence from Finland has some very special talents with respect to lure making.

He uses metal, fibre compound, fish-skin and paint to create magical illusions for fish and fishermen.

Enjoy these wonderful creations that can be cast in lakes  or jigged under ice.

Petri has advised me a big selection of his lures are heading my way to test fish in Australian waters , so i look forward to that very much.

Petri lives in an apartment , in Ruuna Finland , very close to the water so he is fortunate to be able to fish most days with his family.

A true master lure  craftsman!

Petri. when time permits,  is weighting and thickening some classic ABU Toby lures from me and finishing them in skins and paint.

Should be an amazing lure to jig over our coral reefs!

During his winter,  I believe he is making some "jockey" style ice fishing jigs which I believe will be just as effective in salt water catching livies (baitfish) or even bigger quarry. See below...
