I like the idea of using tape for a tight fit to test! thanks for the tips! I will report back once I get it figured out!
-
I like painting natural colour baits usually, however I also love doing some oddball things like pink and chartreuse.
-
Do you often make the corners of the lip wider than the body of the lure? Do you find that the extra width makes the bait work at a slower speed?
-
Will going slightly concave on the lip also increase wiggle? As I have perused the local shops, I have seen a few (generally deep divers) that claim a tight wiggle, but have a wide lip? Would this be more likely from being a deep diver or a function of body shape (flat sides) or even just the company's relative claim?

alright it looks like I will be trying a few lips and trimming until I get a solid action. Thanks!

I have looked and am still coming up blank. is there a rule of thumb for determining the size of lip for a crankbait? Say I want to make a wakebait, I know that I need a rather steep bill angle, but is there a way to determine proper length and width? also as I have been studying Karman vortex streets, I see that that creates lure action. Would a bait with a flat face that tapers back have good action, or would the taper cause the vortex to smooth and lose action?
