Hey Mark!The feather lite is not a stuff that you can modifyed,you must be talking about the alumilite stuff?you add microballons to it but thats to complicated!If you use the feather lite the right way at the right temp it works great!!!muskydan

It depend on the size of the lures you are making?I use a lure holder that I made and it work very nice!I can spin the lure 360° without touching it at any time! Cheers,Dan ps:there is a little video that I sent a few mounts ago of my invention.If it can help you out!

hi Guys!That is a interesting topic!!!and also very funy!!Hey vodkaman i realy like your idea of the lure called the WALLET!!!!!!!HAHAHA!!!A musky can attack a prey 1/2 of it's size!!!They can catch ducks!!! even some seagull a some times!!!A friend saw that one time!!So bigger the lure bigger the fish is a realety at some times!But not allways!I think that the perfect size for a musky lure would be from 8 to 12 inch!In those sizes you will still have a chance for the smaller ones(around 40'')and for the big girls also!!!(45'' over)" years ago I caught a 22 incher on a 11 inch bait!!!And a few weeks ago a fishing buddy got a 30 incher pike on a 13 inch believer!!!!Very masive crank!!!so yes!!Musky's likes it big!!! Cheers,muskydan666

David reid is right!!!Im sure that your lip is a little too vertical!!!but you never know!!Maybe it will run ok!!??Look like your crank is made of balsa wood??If so you will have to add some weight for sure! Cheers and good luck!Dan
