Whats the benefit of the thicker lip? More wobble? Strength? I kinda like it

| Thanks!
I've found that you don't get any more wobble from a 3/8" lip compared to a 1/4" lip. Sometimes it just looks good though, so I mainly use 3/8" Lexan for extra strength and looks. |

| So how much would you charge for a masterpiece like that trout.
What about your other baits? Do sell them? Do you have a web site?
thanks |

| Thanks! I sell all of my baits on eBay, so whatever they get bid up to is what I charge lol. Here's a link to my eBay store for ya---> http://www.ebay.com/usr/nater8gator8?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
The camera I use is just an little Coolpix L20 that I've had for years, and I just take the pictures over a florescent tube shop light. I think I've gotten really good at holding still when I take the pictures so they're nice and crisp though.
