steelhead,

What size is the jointed lure with the lip? Height, width? They all look nice.

Top one, no weight, made of cypress. It swims on top to about 12" under. It's scary what it looks like, It just can't handle any amount of current. Middle one, is out of oak, so it's inherently a bit heavy. It has no weight. With the lip it gets right down there. The next few I'm combining the slab sidedness of the top with the weight of the oak in the middle one to see what happens.... Adding belly weights will be after that.
