Lurehead03 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 What thickness of polycarbonate AKA Lexan do most guys use I been using .60 or 1/16" but was looking at some .30 or 1/32” just wondering if that would be thick enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benton B Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I use both but the 1/32 on small shallow running lures with the line tie in the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I use 1/16" thick for bass baits. Lexan does flex a bit so if I want thinner stuff, I go with more rigid 1/32" circuit board. Nothing wrong with thicker Lexan but it does change the bait's balance and I've gotten used to building with 1/16". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For bass 1/16 is what the majority of bait makers use including myself. I would be a little careful with anything less in lexan. Circuit board at 1/32 works well for bass.
