Tiderunr Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hey guys, I'm looking to modify some wood metal lip plugs I bought, since I don't build. If you wanted as wide a wobble as possible, would you use the biggest lip you could find?? All replies welcomed - Thanks!

jdinklage Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Buy huge colorado blades and bend them into lips and you will get what you seek for topwater metalips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueshark Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 there are several ways you can go about this.... tail wobble ~~~~~~~~ is controlled by several factors/ratios primarily is removing the weight on the tail end ...any lure can be made to wobble like crazy by simply taking off the weight stopping the tail wagging easier.....BUT you lose a hook . If its a 1 belly 1 tail set up you are ok for bass but blues may be hooked less..."you make it swim as YOU like" = Gary Hull, rip you can remove the rear hook if its a bomber with 2 belly hooks and leave a 'flag' of cut the hook off leaving a tab to tie hackle/bucktail to... replace the treble on the rear with an undressed siwash hook. the belly hook size will control the side to side roll , like a log rolling contest , more weight less roll , less weight more roll. too much etc.... you can see the game available by playing with hooks alone ...before messing with the lips.
