diemai Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) @ zisoua These type of lures are very old designs , in fact probably the first floating-at-rest but diving-on-retrieve baits in history . They are simply turned down on a lathe with their body somewhat "elongated egg" shaped and transisting into a "funnel"-like mouthpiece . The top portion of this "funnel" is after cut away plane at a certain angle , screweyes installed.......and the blank is done ! Such lures cast very well , since their center of gravity is located in their rear part , but you cannot compare their diving performance and wobble frequency to "modern" lipped crankbaits , they don't usually dive as deep and their wiggle is most likely somewhat more smooth . But still I like them.........! PS : Check http://www.thehardbaitdatabase.com , there click on "collector's links" , you might find some of sucha lure models there , the probably most well known is called "Rush Tango Minnow" Greetz , diemai Edited November 2, 2008 by diemai text addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
