  1. That’s a lot of friggin lips! Good for you being able to make them at work. How about the cutters and inserts for the Vega. Did you make thousands? It’s almost time for me to buy another cutter.
  2. Haha! I had to add the PM Conrad bit in there. I saw a while back that he sold them flat, but then took that option off of the site. I’ll have to ask for them unbent on the next order. Thanks Ed!
  3. I found a lip on the jersey tackle website that was extremely close to the specs of @Steel Pulse conrad jr lips that he posted on the site. There was some adjusting I had to do to make it even closer, so I wanted to post about it if anyone was interested in making some for themselves! The lips are the Danny #3 Mid Slot Tools needed: First step is to flatten the lip however you can. I use my vise. I made a template of PM's conrad jr lip and printed it out. I put the template up against the flattened lip to see what I need to trim with the tin snips. After I cut the top to size, I slide the template over a tiny bit and mark where the bend lines are with a small dot. After that I draw a straight line across for the bend. Next I bend the lip on the vise with a hammer for the top bend and then a small metal block from my wire bender or use something similar in thickness of the space between the bends. After that you add the little bends on the corners and grab your nearest PM Conrad Jr to compare!
  4. Which lip did you use for yours?
  5. Very cool. What did yours come out to weigh? I'd like to get my hands on an original. I'm sure the lips were hand cut. I used a lefty 1 at first but the wobble was too much. The pikie 1 gave it an amazing swim on a slow retrieve. I'm excited to get these in front of some fish soon.
  6. Eely Jr’s finished up this weekend.
  7. Selling these fishfinders since I’ve upgraded. $125 shipped for both. One power cord is missing. I shortened one of the transducer wires since they come so long.
  8. Building plugs and not fishing as much as I want! I'll try and get out in the next few weeks after I spend too much money at the Surf Day show in Jersey this weekend.
  9. Looks like the perfect exit after spawning. The depth isn't the same as the CCC, but I'd love to give that place a try this season! Jigs and lures for me.
  10. I'd replace both cartridges for $22 and start fresh.
  11. I make my condrad jr lips as I build the plugs. I remember seeing your press setup in another topic. What was your process?
  12. Thank you! Just found it in another forum here. There were a few that he made. The W-Y, Slider Skipper, and Plastic Popper. I'll build a few this winter.
  13. I'd like to make a few atom striper swiper style plugs. Maybe a bit wider than the original. I know there was a "W-Y" popper article that I saw, but now I can't find it. I like the no belly style poppers that you can pop and skip if necessary.
