"Maggots"-first PVC crankbaits

These are awesome. I noticed your lips are pretty thick, Have you noticed much of a diffrence in comparison to thinner lips? Im just interested because i have quite a few sheets i found at the rubbish tip. think its about 3-4mm.

Cheerio Jaicob.

Those look great Dieter! I wouldnt mind tossing those around the docks once spring comes in!

Thanks a lot for your kind words , much appreciated !

I have actually made the lips as thick , as I do not have plenty of thinner lexan in stock and I wanted to save on it !

The PVC material is extremely buoyant , so even these small lures can handle these oversized lips , with a little ballast in the rear they actually still do float up at about level .

Would not have assembled sucha thick lip on wooden lures of comparable size for sure .

Thicker or thinner lips would off course have an effect on a lures action , as they change the balance of the lure due to their different weights , usually 3mm or 4mm thick lips fit for lures 5" plus in length , .........but if I rig the line tie on the lip for a still smaller deep diver , I also like to utilize 3mm lexan for added stability , but in this case I have to choose a very buoyant material(wood) to still achieve sufficient buoancy to be able to trim the lure with ballast .
