Random quote: Muskies are nasty. They stink. They taste bad. They are hard to catch and will disappoint even the most devoted angler. The lures required cost more than some women's jewelry. The rods and reels require a remortgage of the house. The boat is always worth more than the tow vehicle. Sure beats the hell out of golf.

This is my last 1 1/2" thick basswood blank, after this I'll probably return to 1" thick baits once I restock my basswood supply. Bait is 12" long, one rattle chamber, plastic lip.

Does it make a difference in the thicker ones.

On the thicker baits I tend to make the lips wider so they can move around the heavier weight. The rattle chamber is also longer and gives a slightly different sound. Other than that there isn't much difference in 1" and 1.5" thick baits.
