    Lightbulb Crankbait Lipped Jig


    I'm proud of this one, and would like some input from you guys on what you think... A jig that swims like a crankbait. :D

    Have you tested it? Looks great, but seems like the lip would need to be on the underside for it to operate right.

    It swims just like a fish I tested it in some water ... and crankbait lips are facing down because they float and the lip facing down makes it dive... But with a jig it sinks so it needs to be pointed up so it doesn't dive into the mud and stay there. Hydrodynamics are very important in lure making.

    it looks like to me that it would wobble a great deal have you caught many fish on that jig in what is that material you're using for the lip.

    I'm using clear plastic for the lip... And it swims just like a fish nicely with the skirt.

    I like your fresh way of thinking for sure. It looks like you moved up to a more expensive vise as well...lol. Keep up the good work!

    yes definitely keep us up to date on how that thing works on fish. I am very interested because there you are special blades or I should say lips that you can buy already made very inexpensive but if that has the action like a small fish in the water it should be deadly. You are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the good work. Hope to see more of your creativity.
