Abstract

A fishing lure is manufactured by boring a hole through a granite stone body. A straight brass tube that is initially longer than the stone body is initially held in place inside of the hole, such that the axis of the hole and the axis of the brass tube are congruent, by a pair of rubber stoppers located at opposite ends of the hole. Before the second stopper is put into place, a curable liquid adhesive is poured into the annular space between the brass tube and the stone body. The second stopper is then secured to the brass tube at the opposite end of the stone body and he adhesive is allowed to cure. The protruding opposite ends of the brass tube are secured to a lathe, and the outside of the stone body is turned down on the lathe to the desired shape. After the lure body has been shaped and polished, one or both of the protruding ends of the brass tube is shortened to its finished length.
