Yes you are correct I like the jakes and really like crane baits, but don't like the fragile body of the crane. I will try all these great suggestions and give it another go. Thanks for the help

I'm attempting to get a quick side to side action when I rip it. As of now I get a slow side to side with a bit of roll. I attempted to make a bigger lip but that seemed to make it worse. I will have to try the smaller lip idea. Thanks

Ok this is my new trial lure. No weight as of yet. Can I just drill numerous holes in the belly and move lead weight around to get it correct. Also should my lure float upright with no belly weight in it. As of now it floats on its side

Thanks! So basically what your saying is to just put enough bottom weight to keep it upright all the time? I will take a frontal pic when I return to the shop

I just put my weight at about 3 inches from the rear. Im think I might need a tad bit more weight in it

As you can see I attempted to make a twitch bait. I made it from pvc. Lure measure 1/2" wide by 1 1/2" at its tallest point. It does not have a quick wobbling action it's more a real slow action depending on the tow point. I've tried different lips, sizes and different materials. I've also tried to weight the rear to see if that helped, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated
