Shmang Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I picked up some of the 1 5/8 inch Balsa crank bodies from Lurecraft-- what size lip would best fit that size bait? I purchased a few sizes but one is too long and the other too short. Any "best" size? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 @ Shmang Can't you shorten the bigger ones ? Sounds like your baits are pretty small , maybe you'd be lucky downloading the catalog of Welcome to Moore's Lures , there is a size chart of lips in there(though most likely bigger ones , just a few small) , problem would only be , to size the PDF file correctly on the screen , so that you could have a direct comparison . good luck , diemai:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I use a lip with about 1/2" exposed length. I cut them from polycarbonate but you can cut a bigger lip down with tin snips, or sand it down with a Dremel tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmang Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks gents. I will be modifying one tonight to test it out. I scoped out a few bandits to get a better understanding of what "should" work. I sure appreciate the help. Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
