All 8" Grandma blanks with curved round lip (top), curved coffin bill (middle), and a curved flatbill (bottom) shaped in an odd form.

I'd like to see the action on each one. I'll just bet you get great wobbling action out of the coffin bill. Beautiful paint job on those baits too.

I've got a whole bucket with something like 19 lip lure experiments in it that need testing but unfortunately our lake is still frozen over. If they all turn out to be a bomb I'll have to load them into the boat and go out in a Vikings funeral.

Nice work, you are quite the tinkerer. I love that stuff. Did you perhaps play with Shrinky Dinks a lot as a kid? lol

Mike -
I've got these 24 lures to test just as soon as we ice out. You'll note that one of your 10" Mollys is in there to test against one that has a load of siding and epoxy on it for differences in action. I've even got a couple of Rapala scatter raps that are supposed to be the standard for "hunting." The remainder of the lures have slightly different lips and some have had a bit of ballast added up near the horizontal centerline to make them slightly unstable. About one more week and our ice should be gone.
