FrogAddict Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I usually don't start topics but I've looked and haven't found a post that addresses using tackle box divider plastic for crankbait lips. While I could go and buy lexan or circuit boards, I have a tone of tackle box dividers and have used them to make lips on a couple cranks but I haven't had a chance up north here to fish them yet. Has anyone else tried this? I'm guessing they aren't as tough as the other materials. Just looking for your wisdom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffond Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I tried it once on one prototype shad bait... the rocks in the miss ate it up... not sure what the lakes in ND are like... sandy I would guess or muddy? I've just started using aluminum and find that super easy to work with and easy to find any hardware store has it for like $3-4 for a 4-6ft piece of 1inch wide. by 1/8" is what I bought they had thinner and thicker as well.

mark poulson Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I've used them for wake bait bills and as turning vanes (bills set at 45+- degree angle in the side of the head) for rotating top water baits that rest on their sides, and then rotate up to vertical on the pull. I wouldn't use them for a crank that would hit rocks or wood, because, to me, they are too soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogAddict Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I made a couple with them but after seeing the comments here I just bought some from Jann's. Griffond, I fish in minnesota not in nd so I will see rocks and wood. Edited April 29, 2014 by FrogAddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
