Location: Culloden, WV | Tested the bait runs about 1' deep and when twitched good belly roll and darts left right on a steady retrieve not much of either. Needs bigger lip. Any advice appreciated. |

I adjusted the line tie angle and made new thru wire jig taking into account your suggestions. Kind of what my thoughts were I tried bending line tie but it's futile it's epoxied in and solid up and down. I made new blanks to try modifications. Keeping notes and patterns as I go. |

Location: Culloden, WV | I sprayed the top coat. I coat the bait wait until u can touch the line tie and when u pull away its stringy then next coat is ready. Then coat it up to 4x. |
