Small Surfster lips
Does anyone know where I can get some real small surfster lips for a 3 - 4 inch plug? The smallest lips I have right now are the Lefty and the .5 pikie but I still need something smaller. Thanks

NJ Tackle has a lip for that size plug or you can make your own out of a Size #3 spinnner blade.

I've tried small surfster lips on a 3.5" floating swimmer and the results we're not great. I went back to a lefty #1 and it swims great. Seems like surfster has a surface area that's just too small --maybe on a tiny (2-3 in.) swimmer the results would be better...

The lefty seems to pull the small stuff down deep even with a slow retrieve. It still swims great but I'd like to make a few that stay on top. Some old plugs I've seen had real small surfster type lips that I cant seem to find. NJ tackle is out of stock on the small surfster lip.

Ooops! I should have checked again before I posted.
NJ Tackle has them in now so I just ordered some up. I'll post a picture of the little critters when I get them done. Thanks!

If the surfster lip does not do what you want, try as JPI suggested, use a colorado blade. Get one about as wide as the plug for a good fit. Will work on top well.

I have made several 3.5 - 4" surfsters modeled after the original ccbc 7200 series and they work well. Troublemaker lures also used to make a small one that worked well. I don't remember the exact length of the original ccbc but it was around 4". The lips that NJT has will work on that size plug.

aluminum angle
You might try aluminum angle for some lips. The 1" wide stuff is fairly thin, very easy to cut with snips and/or lightweight saw and sands/files very easily. And it's still quite stiff...
