I have been on a mission since I saw Led's Phlat heads..... maybe you can help me brain storm.

In the summer when the jig bite slows down for me, I end up trolling cranks for crappie. Hoping to make up something of my own to drag around. Here was my idea - The Crank-Head





Don't get too excited... so far the result is not the best. The first pic top to bottom are 1/4 - 1/8 - 1/16 - 1/32. Second pic are 1/16's with just simple dark tail to see what kind of wiggle I could get in the tub. So far the best result is the 1/4 purple on the top. It slow-wobbles pretty consistently. Only other one to wobble was the 1/8th, the 1/32 just did the corckscrew, others for the most part just swim straight. So, I scrathed my head, pulled out some of my crankbaits and started to compare the lips. The shape is right, the top one on the second pic is a near replica to the head of a Rapala HJ. The biggest difference I can see... the position of the eye on cranks are out in front or right on the lip. So am thinking maybe a jig with a 60 deg. bend hook would get the eye out there?? A straight shank would be the best for keeping the eye in the right spot, but the head would just spin on the hook with-out an angle to it. Here is something I made up.....



Thinking the eye needs to be up front instead of on the top - The top one I was picturing a regular aberdeen hook, but think it would spin and never hold unless there was a kink in the shank. 2nd thought was a 60deg. bend jig, but only thing I can find close in the right size is a 1/8th bullet nose jig. A sparkie jig would maybe work, but just not sure about the shape of it?

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on how this could be done?? Wish I had some training in aerodynamics or something, this is way over my head and have to slog through by trial/error. - Russ
