Need Help with Display for Fish Decoy Lures

I might go toward using magnets in a shadow box style display. You probably wouldnt want to alter the lures themselves so maybe some metalic tape (if such a thing exists) on the lures and rare earth magents embedded into the display box. Just thinkin out loud here.

I like Chris’ idea about the magnets. There is magnetic tape, which would stick to the lure without harm.

But I’m imagining something different. Wall mount box, maybe six inches deep, with the lures suspended by tiny fishline attached to the front and the back and pulled taut.

The background could be water-reminiscent, helping to make the monofilament disappear.

I don’t think lights would work in this, but since the lures could be randomly placed, up and down and front to back and side to side, it would give the impression of their being in the water.

AND THEN carve just a fish snout just entering from one side. Maybe mouth and part of the eye.

Anybody want to build on this whole concept? I think it’s got legs, er, fins…

Kindly,

Lee

Two fantastic ideas…..I like your thinking guys – even if it is starting to ‘get out there’ a bit!!
