What do you guys look for when developing a Crank is it a tight wobble with a slight wonder like most production models and how much testing goes into your baits before you say this is it, for me it has taken several years to get bugs worked out on some.

. a wandering bait is very good for us. it has to wander 2 feet either way without blo-out up to 5mph.. and yes its a learning curve.

I must say I got lucky with the Grunt. I made about 10 models with various lips ( metal and lexan) adn in various positions. About half ran great and two ran with the wide 24 inch wobble and did not blow out at high speeds. I still made soem firewood but, did not have many problems on the designs and running problems. Granted, my Grunt is big and the lip gives it a wide wobble. I think I would have a tough time making a 8-10 inch model with a huge wobble.

Here is my Grunt next to a 9 inch Grandma at 2.5 mph. I am getting video soon at 5mph+ until it blows out of the water. I have had it up to 7mph but not boat side like in the video. I will be curious to see how the wobble changes at the high speeds.
