Terrydabassman Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I've had trouble getting everything centered and have wasted time and material making mustakes and drilling a little right or left. I've solved this problem and want to share it with you guys. Take a look see. Hope it helps some body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baitmaker2 Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 easiest way I have found to assure a perfect center line tie in your lips is to measure the width of your lip after you have shaped and sanded it to the correct size, divide your measurement in half and this should be the exact center of the lip, now put lip into bait as far in as it goes when glued and mark on the paper of the lexan the location where the lip leaves the body, then measure out onto the lip the desired distance you want your line tie, mark this spot and measure 1/8 inch farther out and make another mark, making sure these 2 marks are aligned onto the original lip width mark, drill 2 small holes that the wire tie will pass through and atach your wire line tie as you normally do. MAKE SURE THAT YOU LEAVE THE PAPER ON THE LEXAN UNTIL ALL YOUR MEASUREMENTS AND DRILLING IS COMPLETED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
