Chicagohehaw Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Looking for quality weight transfer systems in medium diving crankbaits. Any suggestions? I was using avidbass tackle but I guess they are gone. Any recommendations on vendors is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F&R Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I haven’t made many, but I have used 1/8 aluminum tubing from Home Depot with small, I think #6, lead birdshot in the tube. I cut the piece of tube to the length I needed to fit in between halves of the balsa bait I make. Then I sealed one end by squeezing with pliers, put in the desired number of shot, then sealed the other end. I routed a small channel in both bait halves horizontally approximately mid way up the bait. The channel was positioned front to rear so that when the bait dived the shot would roll to the fron end of the tube and keep the bait inclined at its natural diving angle. This system worked pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he calls them w/t baits. https://dingerbaits.com/lure-bodies/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
