I have a Jacobs mold & machine mold that i use medium plastisol to make soft plastic salmon eggs in hot pink & chartreuse to use as crappie nibbles. One or two a day is all you use unless you break off. Sure beats paying 6 bucks a jar from them.

Acrylic is brittle compared to poly. Dave

I have found that, for me, rounded lips are more forgiving and easier to tune and fish on deeper diving lures than square bills. I think maybe it's because deeper divers are more difficult to get right in general than shallow running square bill cranks, so I find rounding the lip makes that one less thing to worry about. And I've found that a square bill will flip up a bait to vertical more consistently when it's burned into a piece of wood, so it's hooks are thrown up and over the wood, where a rounded bill can roll the bait more to its side, allowing the hooks to snag.

Thank you for sharing the great idea, Dave. I'd like to add a small one to yours. First, thin circuit board lips are more flexible than the thick lexan lips. So, when we retrieve a crankbait, the thin circuit board lip is twisted to one side (right or left) by the pressure of the water. Then the twist of the lip turns back to the original state, and ths moves the crankbait waggle faster. This process will occur continuously every times the crankbait swim to one side (right or left). Sorry for my long absence and poor English.
