I'd say very visible, didn't try to hide them in the ones I have seen. I'd say it is a heavier wood if no visible signs of belly weight. Like to get the calipers on one of those danny's Dave George I bet those Jr's will be fine. Nice job.

I made the big ones too. Thanks for the info Tony. I will put it to good use. I am making some Bluestreak A-40 type lips tonite as they are different than the A-40 lips available right now, not a lot but different.

Question for you. How much lead did you put in the belly of the one you made? A big chunk up past the thru wire?

No, If I go thru the wire I pour it in little blasts so it don't go everywhere.
I don't remember how much lead.A good sized chunk.I use whats around an beat it to shape.I do remember it came out heavier than I originally wanted.I messed up the first coat of epoxy an had to go 2 coats which also made it heavier.But it was ok.
Nice lips..
FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

why do they weigh so much?
and why are they so hard to make correctly?

look similar to the short captain bill but with 2 hooks and a bit longer

They have to cast far ,,(a reacher) and swim deep .(not a surface lure).. From what I understand they were a favirote Race Point plug in thier day ..

Hey .. Paul .. are those slope heads considered Conrads also or are they a totally different plug .
