finfever Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 What kinds of material can you make lips with? I want to experiment with lips on wake baits that i make. I need some much appreciated input/advice on this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwhittler Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I use 1/16" lexan sheet from US Plastics and it's worked great for me. You can also make bills out of metal and micarta. I haven't used micarta so I can't help you there but for a while I made all of my bills out of metal. You can use just about any metal for bills (as long as it won't rust); steel siding works great. Hope this helps. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Like Whittler says, 1/16" "Lexan" is very popular - clear, tough, durable, unobtrusive. Lexan is a brand name of polycarbonate and there are many brands. All brands are pretty much the same functionally, as far as I can tell. Another good source is mcmaster.com, which also sells polycarbonate, circuit board, wire, etc at good prices. I like circuit board on shallow baits intended for fishing cover - which swimbaits are not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
