TeknoLures are made from Plastimorph - an exciting new “high-tech” product that has been specially developed for both amateur and professional fishermen who wish to make high quality fishing lures. .
Lures can be created in a matter of minutes using the most basic of techniques and without the need for expensive tools, moulds or machines. The days of painstaking hand carving of wooden lures or delicate hand painting are now over.

Infinite variety of designs, shapes, colours, surface finishes can be obtained. The final Lures are durable, colourfast, non-toxic and if lost will eventually biodegrade through the action of naturally occurring bacteria to harmless materials. Precious fishing habitats are thus not being endangered.
Endless possibilities for lure design - from basic coloured plugs and spinners, through to jointed surface, sub-surface and diving lures, soft artificial baits that mimic naturally occurring prey, or hard finish lures that will withstand many years of punishing use.
.: Plastimorph
Plastimorph has been specially formulated from a range of pigmented thermoplastic powders. Plastimorph is solid at room temperatures but begins to soften at temperatures of approximately 50 C. At 70 C plastimorph is molten and can be easily formed and moulded into any shape. It can then easily be reheated, softened and allowed to harden on multiple occasions without harm. It should be stored in dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and kept below 40 C.
The polymer is harmless and non-toxic. It is environmentally friendly and will degrade slowly in soil to natural products. It is durable, shock and tear resistant and practically indestructible under normal playing conditions. Tees will eventually become damaged and can be repaired or redesigned by further application of heat. They are thus theoretically everlasting !!!
