    Crankbait Lip

    Much thanks to everyone that has replied. I had thought about making a form using bondo or fiberglass resin but just wasn't sure if this was the best way to go.. Sounds to me like you guys have thought this one through a bit already. I will be attempting to do a thru wire construction on my baits also. After I get started and have completed a few baits I will be sure to post some pitures. Am very interested in what somebody will come up with for a duplicator that can either be purchased whithout having to give up an arm or a leg or can be built at home. Thanks guys for your time and info.. Happy Holidays.

    Crankbait Lip

    Thanks for the tips. I guess should have been a little more specific with my post. When I said I was going to start with using blanks I meant that I was going to use the pre-cut blanks that are already shaped and sealed. Eventually I want to cut and shape my own, but am just learning. So with that said, do you suggest placing the bait in a vice or should I have a form to place it in. Thanks.
  3. I am gearing up to start making balsa wood crank baits and will start with using blanks. Was wondering what may be the best way when cutting the slot for the lip to ensure that the cut is true? Do I need to create a form to place the blank in while cutting the slot? If so, what is the best material to build the form with? By the way, I have been logging on for a few weeks now doing some research and the info here is incredible. Any help is much appreciated. thanks. XL
