  1. What I have done to round my edges I took a copper pipe cut in half and about 3" long glued sandpaper on the inside. Just put the crank in the pipe and slide it through. That way a uniform on both sides of the baits. I really like it works great for me. For steper shoulders you can bend the pipe with pliers. I also glue sandpaper on the outside of the cut pipe so i can sand with my finger a little more accurate for me. hope this helps.

  12. This are the 2 i got done today. They have been sanded, water proofed, hangers put in, belly weights added, bill put in. They are suprsing well balanced. The real test will be when i take them out to the pond to see how they are going to really act. I dont think my bass in the pond has ever seen a crank before. Wish me luck. I dont think they are to bad for a first timer. The first pic the bill on the crank is 2x as big as the second, but they float the same.....
  13. Thanks for all the feedback. I cut some more of the number 3 out today kids got a hold of the ones i done the other day. I have thought about putting a grove frome the belly to the tail. Thats why i cut out about ten today some i can play around with them tonight to see what i get. Im going to do direct tie to the bait and were you tie to the bill. But again thanks for the comments.
  14. Don't get me wrong I love all my bandits bombers bagleys. I there is nothing like using you made yourself. plus I like using what noby else has. those are my favorite shapes.
  15. First let me thank you guys for all the info to get me started!!!!!!!!!!!! So what do you think??? Im going to round the corners off tomorrow. The cranks are 1/2"w x 2 1/2"L x 1"t. Sorry my only camera is on my phone.

Does anyone know someone that could do it. laser shop or or custom cutting shop. Also I would like to thank everyone for all the info I have gathered from the forums.
