Here are photos of the lure system I use for all of the birds I fly. Note the 'sliding' system for fastening the meat to the lure line. It consists of two cable ties (I chose red) and the food fastens on the cord. In June of 2011. I have just started training a male wild peregrine that is am educational bird. He definately likes the lure. I left him by himself one afternoon with one of the lures next to him. He started playing with an picking at the red part of the tuna tails. So, I'm convinced (as the late Jack Postlewaite noted) that lure color DOES make a difference in interest and response.
Left to right: Kestrel lure with small flexi, Barbary/tiercel lure with medium 23 foot flexi long. Large lure for redtails and large falcons, with innertube, and large 26 foot Flexi lead.
