big lips and small hooks observations
A couple of things that I realized/observed over this past week or so is that I have been using hooks that have been too small and that at times the lip on the plug was either too big or the wrong type for the action I was looking for on the plugs I've been making. Several of the plugs that I did recently, by adding a larger belly hook or switching to two belly hooks, the plug became more stable in the water. The same with switching to a smaller lip. Another thing I learned was that sometimes if the lip slot was raised an eighth of an inch (I think Jigman talked about that on one of my posts), the whole plug would settle down.
Several of you made suggestions regarding these tweeks on the plugs I've been working on. It's one thing to read it and a whole other thing to take the time to follow up and try them out and see the results of the changes! And to see how these tweeks affect each other...
Now I have to go find fish to try these little babies out on.
