So it's been awhile since I posted a thread on here but I've been reading most of them anyway...I kinda went into hibernation here in Minnesota over the winter. But now I got my hand on some nice Balsa and basswood and was thinking about making some grandma lures as well and working on perfecting my jerkbaits. But its the grandma's I am asking about I have the design from a few websites that we all know on here and have decided to use metal lips on them since the rivers here tend to destroy plastic. But what I am curious is has anyone made the smaller versions of these... it seems most fish in the ole mississippi prefer smaller baits even if there a large fish and the most common bait fish in the river is the chub. So I figured I would try to come up with a chub sized grandma and try foiling it and painting it and all that but just figured I would see if anyone had any input on ballast and any other odd ideas about the design of this lure from large ones to the smallest size. If you not sure what a grandma lure is I'll post a pic below. and Wobblerbau has the pdf for design here if anyone wanted it http://wobblerbaujw.jimdo.com/schablonen/wobbler/#Wobbler (use chrome and hit translate if you browser doesnt offer it)

This is my second grandma lure I figured I shouldn't have one in the box that wasn't in vintage color scheme anyway... I truly am having allot of fun building these lure types they are easy to make and assemble... this one is 5 3/4" long and ended up with three ballast points to float nice... I am sure if I had bigger lead pieces it would have only taken two points no biggy thou... opener is almost here!
