I know that this has been asked before, but I wanted to give specifics as to what I am making. I am making 8" and 10" musky baits out of Mahogany. The problem that I am having is that when I twitch/pull the baitk, the front of the bait wants to come up. I would assume that I need to either weight the front more and/or take some weight out from the back of the bait. The wood is 1" thick, edges are rounded with a router and I have been placing 4 3/4oz weights in the 10" bait. The total weight of the lure is about 7oz. My 8" bait is about 5oz and I have been putting 2 3/4oz weights, on each side of the front screw eye. I don't have the 10" bait on my website yet, but if you can take a look and offer any suggestions, that would be great. All of the baits on my site are 8". Also, is it better to put the front screw eye at the front of bait or on the top of the bait? Any help, would be great. My website is www.muskiebaitsonline.com
