Making jigs as always, aids in the process. I made jigs for the thru-wire, the lip slot cutting, and a holder for the lures with the epoxied lips to stand. Yes, The lip slot could have been molded in, but I wanted to be able to use different lips and lip angles. One version of this minnow style lure I have has a deep diving bill with the line tie on the bill. For that one I'll make a shortened wire that only goes from the belly hook to the tail for the mold. The longer diving bill with the line tie is epoxied in later, and the lip slot is cut at a sharper angle. Heres a pic with some lips epoxied in place, one example of a deep diver and a few others.
