Lips on Cowboys

[iamskippy]

I was wondering what lips are used on the SR and JR was thinking about cutting some here in my down time.

Conrad Jr and Senior Lips.

Most people prefer the Jr Cowboy

I have made a bunch of these and they do catch well

saltys also sells kits for both if you want to copy the profiles by buying one of each or borrow an original Beachmaster from someone

thanks BT, i am slightly embarrassed now as i thought those were Lefty lips, not sure why i didn't think of checking his site... I have masters in plexi, was thinking of using that lip on another Swimmer i turned the other day.

I'd like to take a try at building a couple of Cowboys, I've always liked the shape, just never got around to trying them, now that the lips are available I've got to give it a whirl. Never held one or even seen a real one, so a few questions.
Weighting - The Salty kits for the Jr say 3.25-3.5 ozs. for the 6" plug, that's pretty heavy. I don't think my AYC balusters are going to be big enough to turn the diameter that I'll need, but I do have some 1-3/4" sq. White Cedar which should let me get the size I need, but it's light compared to the AYC. Any thoughts on whether more lead to offset the lighter wood will work? Or should I try to source something heavier?
Dimensions - I could scale the picture from the Saltys site, but if anyone had head/shoulder/belly/tail diameters I wouldn't think less of you for giving them to me.
I'm off to buy a handful of Conrad lips, any opinions on mid/high or low slot?

Ed, in.my humble opinion the white cedar would be way to light, ayc is the way to go salty does sell true 1.75x1.75 which is perfect. I have both the jr and sr templates if needed.
