Random quote: Muskies are nasty. They stink. They taste bad. They are hard to catch and will disappoint even the most devoted angler. The lures required cost more than some women's jewelry. The rods and reels require a remortgage of the house. The boat is always worth more than the tow vehicle. Sure beats the hell out of golf.

Got creative and made some Christmas gifts. After trying to cut out a bottle opener shape inside the lexan lip and realizing that was very difficult, I came up with this design. Formed a loop of .092 wire under and parallel to the lip which acts as the opener. They work pretty good. Mostly just gifts I made for friends who are into outdoors.

have you tried to make them working lures as well? having a multi-tool would be handy.

Thanks guys! They went over really well as gifts! I'm sure it would work as a lure, just need to add a hook hanger and probably some lead. I'll call it the multi tool. Maybe add a corkscrew and a knifeblade in there somehow haha.
Yea I've seen Big Eye Baits on Instagram, I like his bottle openers! Especially the NFL themed ones! I just could not get the hole in the lip to work with the lexan, and sanding the inside smooth for me would have been very tricky.

I have made several as gifts. Everyone who revived them were happy!
I like how you incorporated the opener with the PC lip!
