| Aside from trial and error, how does one know the correct angle to install a Lexan lip onto a homemade crankbait? I am hoping there is some sort of chart that tells you, in general, that the bait will run X feet deep with a lip installed at X angle. With that being said, I am looking to make a shallow running bait, say 2’ – 3’ and another that will run 5’- 6’ deep. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! | |

| lots of lures out there for reference with dive curves recorded. You may have to sit down and do a little homework and charting just to get things started. Even if someone gave you a lip angle it would still be arbitrary without knowledge of the body size (length,width,thickness), weight, position of the lip on the lure body, lip thickness, line tie position and a few other minor details that affect running depth. trial and error is the best part of making your own lure.
