smitty0312 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 How can I make my own metal diving lips? What material? Where to buy the material.

muskie magnet Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Most of the Creek Chub Pikie lips had 2 sharp bends. Rollie&Helen's carry a few stainless steel replicas I think. The old Pikies had brass lips I think. I bought some brass replicas years ago but have no idea from where. If you want to make a couple buy the proper gauge brass and with some cutting, grinding, drilling and bending you should be able to come up with what you are looking for.
