JeffG Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 How do you figure out how much weight to add to a wood bait? and where in bottom of bait do you put it? Example how much would I add if I am wanting to make a flat sided bait like a Dee bait. 2 to 2 1/2" flat sided balsa crank? and where would you add?

Hoodaddy Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Welcome Jeff,In answer to the first half of your ?,I would probably start with 1/4-3/8 oz.and adjust from there.I havent tried making a Dee bait but you can scroll down on the forum to find "Making a flat sided c/b" and Art Brush has posted a schematic of one and all the correct tangents.Look on Tutorials to find Coleys TT on making a belly weight.Come to think of the link may be in the above mentioned thread.Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
