Ugliest Sea Trout Lure Ever? DIY Zopf (Rubber Band Build & Test

Ever seen a fishing lure made from rubber bands? In this video, I’m building one of the strangest and least-known salmon lures from Central Europe — the legendary Zopf from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. And honestly… I still don’t know how to pronounce it 😅 My version is made as a line-through lure, inspired by the look of a viviparous blenny (eelpout). Traditionally, the Zopf has a metal head and a body made from feathers or rubber strips — but this time, I’m going full DIY with ordinary rubber bands. This is a brand-new design made specifically for sea trout, and I have absolutely no idea if it works. One thing’s for sure though… it’s definitely not pretty! 🐟💀 🎥 In this video, you’ll see: – Step-by-step lure build process – First underwater test – My honest reaction to how it swims It’s not your typical coastal lure, but who knows — maybe this weird rubber band creation will trigger a curious sea trout (or two). Would you fish with something this ugly? 🛒 Support the channel & check out my handmade lures here: 👉 https://tightlinelures.dk #zopflure #fishinglure #throughwirebait #diylure #handmadelures #lurebuilding #seatrout #blennyinspired #fishingexperiment #luretesting
