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...
