MarkNY Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 When installing lips or bills that also have the line tie, should I use a mechanical fastener as well as epoxy to secure it to the lure body? I've been doing some bass size lures and have only been using epoxy to install lip. Was thinking I could make a small pin with twisted wire and epoxy that I could drive though the underside of the head and through the lip. Thoughts?

RayburnGuy Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Check out my post in the thread below. It's gives a description of how I install my lip/line ties and I've never had a failure with bass sized lures on fish up to 8lbs.

SW Lures Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I do mine similar to Ben's. However I have straight wire outside of the bait. I like the wire tight to the lip. I saw something about a person snapping a tow eye in a lip. I just didn't trust this for large size species. It maybe good for bream, crappie and such. I use other baits for these species tho. As far as strength in Ben's way, a 8lbs whatever is not going to pull it out if done correctly. Dale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
