I know this one from my lure collector's book , but can't remember it's name right now , ...if my memory serves me right , I had tried to make a version many years ago , but which had failed to swim to my satisfaction .

Great to hear , that you have succeeded , ....nice lure !

Thanks...I think the metal lip that I added helped give it a desired action.

Yes , I had already figured out long time ago, that such metal lips must have been added to timber lures to add to a stable swimming action and also provide protection , if the lure should hit bottom obstacles .

 

Also it is easier and faster to manufacture as if elaborately doing weightholes to balance the lure's action , I guess .

 

Not to forget the increased wobble generated by a metal lip even only protruding a few fractions of an inch over the integrated diving vane .
