Well the prototype swims great. In fast current (which is where I will fish these) it stays right up on top and you can make it dig down 6-12". It took like 8-10 tries to get it just right and probably another 6-8 tries on the lip before I got it to do just what I wanted. I love the shape and profile, I just hope these swim as nice as the proto.
Steelhead, because of the shape if it were not weighted it would roll sideways on you. You need weight on the bottom to act like a keel.
The lexan is really fun to play with, it cuts easy on the bandsaw and you can clean it up on the sander. You can make the lips any size and shape. But thats good and bad, as it gives you another variable to try and deal with...
Moneywise it will probably work out a LOT cheaper than buying metal lips. I bought a 1ft square piece for something like 5$ at HD, and I bet I've cut 25+ lips out of it and I've only used about a 1/4 to 1/3'rd of the sheet.
And the thumb is getting better and I did it with a simple hand chisel, not one of those saw horror stories you alway hear about.
