Those all look very good. I really like the handmade baits you've been building lately.

You may have problems with mounting the line tie that far out on the deeper baits. Most baits with the line tie built into the bill have the line tie mounted roughly halfway between the nose of the lure and the tip of the bill. If the line tie is to close to the tip of the bill, the bait may roll on retrieve.

Of course if they work as they are, forget what I just said.

Thanks Fishwhittler. Your probably right about the line tie location on the longer lip. I was trying to figure out the placement of the line tie by using percentages (was shooting for something close to 60% from bait to end of lip) and I must have screwed up on my math. Chalk one more up to learning things the hard way.
