It has been a challenge (to say the least), but I think I'm almost there. Both sizes.

Diggin Jiggin very nice stuff. That is a funny pattern to paint as it looks like you're painting a cow till you put the scales on it. One of those don't be afraid to make it look stupid first to make it look good later deals.

How slow will they swim?
I can get lipless swimmers to swim but not at a crawl, roughly at darter speed. |

Don't know yet, Pete. The ones I've tried on my own in the past have sucked. Now, however, Billy lent me an original medium Musso (which I have not swum). There are a lot of subtleties to it, and copying it has been a learning experience, but I think I've got it and will be able to test prototypes pretty soon. |

No, that would be Paul (and Capesams). I'm shooting for close enough and in fishable numbers. |

George those lipless are shaping up nice .
I tried the small 1 oz. .. The line tie was just about dead center [good] the bottom angle and top angle were around 45 & 70 [ I don't have notes here ]. I was able to cut these with the squares on. the small lipless has concavities in bottom and top . Very small subtle hollows.
I just borrowed a med 2 oz. size different angles less concave ,the top was pretty much straight.
The line tie looked low[below center}?
I'm interested to know how you are able to replicate consistanly - jigs used
