Location: Moses Lake, WA		Decided to experiment a bit with clevis pins in an acrylic lip that is roughly 1/3 the length of the lure. Should dive like a champ, one rattle chamber, two guy wires to support the acrylic lip.

Behemoth! I love it. Experimenting is the part I love about lure making. That thing would plow! Have you ever tested the pull out strength of polycarbonate with the clevis pin? Probably plenty strong with a lip that thick. Just curious. I wonder if you could put a thin flat washer on the backside of the clevis to give extra support if you were to use it on a thinner polycarbonate lip.
Good work! Love your creativity as always.

Location: Moses Lake, WA		I agree, a flat washer is called for. I just didn't have one when I finished the lure and took the pictures.
