  1. .35 is what I use, but I drill two holes in the lip and shape the wire before inserting it thru. Trying to get a proper bend with the lip attached is a pain in the butt. Here is what my wire basically looks like before installing it. It takes a bit of manipulation to push through at the bends, but I do this with both polycarbonate and circuitboard lips. Both tag ends go into one hole in the bait body, which force the wire tightly together and also acts as a bit of resistance against pulling out.
  2. dpalinsk- I use reduced Auto Air Sealer White on my homemade wood baits with an Eclipse HP CS, and also have experienced trouble with particulate spatter. I now stretch a doubled up piece of nylon hosiery over the bottle top as a filter and it makes all the difference in the world.
  3. Thanks Douglas. I'm hoping to run a few of these larger baits on Lake Erie before ice.

    Thank you Dale! This is a style that I made for walleye and bass, but it really did well on crappie this summer. I'll take it!

    You do some very clean foil work and smooth paint fades. Nice!

    Thank you guys, and yes these are scratch builds. I also agree that it's hard to have enough perch baits. One of my most productive walleye patterns.
