fishfish 17 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 its all about design,the lip on the front will do most of the wiggle as the water passes over it, theres a book on ebay by a mate of mine,it covers all lure fishing but has a good section on making plugs, 'charlie bettel The art of lure fishing'. should be able to pick it up for under a fiver.another complete tackle making guide is 'The complete book of tackle making' big book but lots on lures.
