Hello all,
I am currently considering buying a new mold for buzzbaits. I have in the past used a fish head mold with sunken eyes that I modified to take a buzzbait hook and wire by cutting a grove in the mold to hold the hook perpendicular to the cavities. This creates a planing head with eyes on the top and bottom.
What I want to do is increase the planing activity of the buzzbait to be able to slow it further and get it to run farther off line. I am considering modifying one of 3 molds:
Gravedigger
Wobble jig
Swm jig
...to take a buzz hook, wire, and skirt collar to make the bait. Any of these will be turned so the leading edge comes up like a ski. Which would be best/easiest? Other ideas?
