Did you offset the lip? Supposedly this is helpful for getting jitterbugs working quickly (I learned this reading an interview with Arbogast).

Numbskull,

How do you mean "offset" the lip? Do you mean slightly off center a little left-to-right, or up-and-down?

Never heard of it, but please respond as I'm always interested in a new trick...And they do take a little umph to get going

thanks for the tips

Arbogast said the secret to his jitterbug was that the lip was mounted marginally to one side. This created an asymetric pull and got the lure working immediately and at slower speed than an on-center lip. I've never built one, but it makes perfect sense.
