basslovr Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Great work there Big M. I have been dabbling with making lures too but can't seem to get the hang of getting my lips straight.....Could I impose upon you for some pointers on how to make sure my lures will run in a straight line when retrieved? I am using all hand tools to make my lures and don't have access to all that fancy stuff. Any help you could share would be greatly appreciated. Quote
BIG M Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 Thanks for all the nice words. Basslovr, I started with all handtools myself. First you need to cut the lip slot before you cut the blank out, while the piece of wood is still square. You can use a metal finger nail file to clean up the lip slot after you've cut out the blank. Install the lip and make sure everything is nice and straight before doing anything else. I also install the lip before sealing and painting the blank. From time to time I still get a crooked lip.

Jake. Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Great Job! I especially like those shallow cranks. Quote
