For those who have not heard of me, my name is Lawrence Harrop. I was born in Southport on the north west coast of England. I have fished since I was a kid both in the sea and in freshwater, water has always fascinated me along with the creatures that live in it.
My working life for the most part has been in the construction and building industry, I have also earned a living from my workshop where I have Carved, sculpted and turned wood into all manner of things from furniture to bizarrely a wooden leg! The creative side and inventor in me was I suppose an ideal to designing Lures.
My love affair with making lures happened with my return to Pike fishing in the 90s. It seemed foolish to pay good money for things I could make myself, and once I started to play around with Lures I became hooked myself.
Almost all my fishing is done using my lures, therefore they are well tested before they are built for sale to fishermen.
I have written many articles on Lurebuilding for various publications in the UK, and have a large client base all over Europe. I supply Tackle shops when I have spare capacity, I also have clients in the USA where the lures are used to catch Musky, a relative of the Pike.
Good luck with your lure fishing......Loz.
