Thanks Jerry,
You know, there is a difference but sometimes not as much s one might think. I hguess it depends more on how you set the lip. I ade one awhile back for a friend who I always said was "out of kilter"...LOL So I made one with the lip and hooks and all off to the side. It was one like in the top pictur. Anyways, when you give the line a jerk, it would go striaght tail up and then sort of corkscrew down a bit before leveling out and coming back up. My buddy took it out, just to be sure he could give me a proper hard time and ended up with 9 bass in 40 minutes. Most about 2 lbs range but they sure loved that kaddywhompus lure...LOL
These lures are mostly woods like cherry, cedar, a bit of mohogny, poplar and even walnut in there. It's fun to cut one out, sand it and the fish it. Sometimes it works, others it doesn't but we have fun with it. Even some of the younger kids, like to use their clored pencils, paints and crayons and color them. Then a bit of clear coat and they're fishing. ;D
