Flex 70 or 80?

Postby ChubbyChaser » Mon Feb 11, 2013 6:37 pm

Can it be used to make a lipped crank bait. I'm trying to make a more durable 10" kicken minnow style bait. Will the Flex 80 hold a lip and will it need a wire harness or will screw eyes hold? Or should I cast a lip around a harness like the stock baits? Thanks

Flex 80 might be a little stiff. It is tougher than the vinyl the kickin minnow is made of. Yes, it would hold a lip if you cast it in, but for sure will NOT hold a screw eye. You'd have to make an interior hook harness.
