Great job guys. Those look awesome:happy: :happy: :claps: :btu: :cheers:

Credit where credit is due!!!

I would like to thank west coast friend "Winchmaster" for sending me the lip I sent to Tinman.

And thanks to Tinman for taking the ball and running with it.

Diamond Tackle makes the best lips in the business.

Bernzy

Now you guys can get to work on those big pikie lips:)

Yeah it would be great to find a source for med & big pikie lips in about .030 or .032

TINMAN save me another 20 of those surfster lips...you boy's done reel good....*note: a little burr on the front edge, but other than that...FILL YOUR ORDER'S:happy:

PS>>>THANKS.....5 plug's up:D

Thanks again Capesams! I'll let Tinny know! ;)

As for the burr, I think he's looking into a different media for the polishing step. The ones being shipped should be deburred nicely!!! :D

:kewl: feel like doing another tuffie:confused: I'll spread the word over to the other place....txs. again

Tinnman - Great Job. Please check your PM's.

I got my samples today and just returned from a water test.
They pass with flying colors, but I expected no less.

As capesams said a minor burr area at the bottom, but the plug swims AWESOME. :happy:

Ship em Danno :D

Bernzy

Allright John,I have to say they look pretty good.

Just placed an order. These look awesome:drool:

Got the lips today. All I can say is WOW these are awesome , thanks. I will definately be ordering more soon.:D

Just got mine... AWESOME JOB... now I have to make surfsters too geez!

-Dave

nice aren't they:D

Maybe I should get mine tomorrow, I ordered them on the 18th.Everybody always gets theirs before me it seems:( maybe the mail carrier is holding on to them:smash:

:devil:

:crying: I know my mailman makes plugs ..I didn't get mine either ... :bc: maybe tomorrow:(

Slip and Tagger - I didn't get mine yet either. I ordered on the 19th as well and waiting very patiently.

I spoke with Tinman yesterday and he told me they will be coming.:soon:

Bernzy

Sorry for the delay guys.
Just completed a large batch. so all orders will be out tomorrow if not already sent. I had to make an improvement on the polishing step, to remove all the little burrs and get a nice shiny finish. This Stainless is thicker than i was used to working with. I dont want to bore you with the details , but it made a big difference.

thanks
JD
:D

Thanks Bernzy.

Thanks Tinman. Can't wait to see them.

Tinman makes some killer lips :kewl: so I'm sure the surfsters will be worth the wait :)

Jigman

Thanks, I like perfection. It's worth the wait.

Tinman,
Any chance you could make some danny and pikie lips out of the same stainless as the surfsters??? If you did I bet you'd have some happy campers
:D

Interesting. You mean in a larger size? What Dims' are we looking for ?

Just Bigger... I dont know dimensions off the top, but I make some that go 9" (jointed) that need a bit more than the danny's I got from NJtackle... maybe one size up from the D-2 lip?

Danny lips 1.25" wide (even 1.375") would be :kewl: on some of the 3-4 oz swimmers I make.

Original Pikie lips size. The Moores are too big but will work on larger pikies. Capesams has some original most likely. I can measure one from the 70's but that is all I have.

I got my lips today, they look great:happy:
Now I just need to borrow a friends original surfster if someone would be kind enough to lend me one so I can make some knock-offs.

No what I meant was making your danny lips out of a thicker stainless... One rock later and the lip gets all banged up. I'd happily pay a few ¢ more for a beefier lip thats all:D
