Looks like you'll need to rebend the lip if you are trying to stay true to the original action.
What sort of weight do they carry?

No weight in the original at all, but I did weight it, Lip that is in it is a Pikie 4, just a tad wider but I have some unbent ones that will be reshaped to the original. It will get a Masterlure paint job!! |

like lou said no weight at all but it had 3-5/0 trebles on it when i got it, original hardware, even the old rusted hooks were hard to bend open, very thick and heavy. |

Love the body.....nice work! Get that sucker painted!!

So which color? Blue or green? And how about posting some of the beauties you have done lately, those are some sweet repro's!!

Amazing how many of the makers relied on hook size and weight to get their plugs to swim. |

I built some and fished them a bit. I was not too impressed but didn't give them the chance they probably deserved. I did get one middling bass so they have some potential. Habs also made a loose copy and I think someone, Luds perhaps, had success with it |
