So for starters draw out your design on your piece of wood. The lip slot you want to be nice and tight. I used a scrap piece of lexan to trace the lip slot so I know it’s perfect.
Since this is a deep diver I am using a shallow angle from my lip slot. Sharper angle shallower it dives and go far enough it becomes a wake bait
The curved design of this body is actually problematic when it comes to balancing a crankbait. I recommend a more conventional shape with a flat or drop belly if you want to attempt your own. I am actually using tricks in the design to balance this body style that take hooks and hardware into consideration.
