| 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.

| 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. |

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