    Ys gotta have two on board. Then no sads.
    (Just quietly; I built some with an internal chamber. Inside the chamber was a little sponge. Had a small hole from front of lure into the sponge chamber and also a rear vent. Inject fish oil into the chamber before each use
    Some also incorporated another chamber containing lead shot which could rattle )

    And next time you will make 10 times as many in half the time
    And thats what it's all about.
    Doing something you love not because its easy and not because its cheaper
    Just because you can

    The more you make the more time you can spend loosing them

    @Gibo. Kingi. I'de suggest going to at least 8/0 or 9/0. Gape works best to hookup if it exceeds lure thickness. Everything else appears good but.
