Where do you guys buy your crainkbait lips? or do you make your own? I've bought some from Jann's Netcraft in the past but a lot of lips broke off on rocks or whatever. I think they were only about 1/8" thick so i am looking for something a little thicker.
Thanks,
Zach

Staminainc.com, mooreslures.com has them too, I've tried to get a river run catalog for a while now cuz I heard they have the best selection, but also heard they have day jobs so they are real busy......

I get the majority of mine from Moores Lures, as Dick has the best selection, etc. I have never had anyone tell me the 1/8th polycarbonate lips I used have broken, but I have on occasion in the past epoxied a slightly smaller lip to my main lips to give them even more strength.
