BM Schoolie Lip Question
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here we have a mini Musso Torpedo, BM Schoolie, Musso Surface Swimmer Jr..

Lips - Lefty 1 midslot, Lefty 2 ??? midslot, Lefty 2 midslot ???

The lip in the schoolie is identical to a lip I believe I removed from a BM Jr. MAKE SENSE?

Anyone know anything about the front face height differences between the Schoolie lip and the Musso lip to its right???

Like I said in my reply to your other post its a strange lip. Try a couple different lips and see what swimming action comes closest to the original.

schoolie lip is close to a BM jr lip but not quite
it's a tough match
I'm running into same problem . I used lefty lip on some they swam well .
Also used smaller lip I made lures freehand so some are fatter
fatter lip with small lip had nice wiggle

I take a lefty 2 & grind it down, Bm's jr lip is a pikie / lefty2 hybrid of sorts.

You can get some unbent lips from CCT and bend them,,, it might be close,,,

Jon, if the diameter is around 1"and it's not over 5-6" w non weighted tail, a lefty 1 mid will swim it fine.

Thanks guys
 
What are you Musso dupers using for lips in those Surface Swimmers/pines/maples??

Wonder if it would be worth it to have a bunch of those made. There is a place here in Waterford called SECONN Fabrication that does all kinds of metal work.
