No, that would be Paul (and Capesams). I'm shooting for close enough and in fishable numbers.

George those lipless are shaping up nice .
I tried the small 1 oz. .. The line tie was just about dead center [good] the bottom angle and top angle were around 45 & 70 [ I don't have notes here ]. I was able to cut these with the squares on. the small lipless has concavities in bottom and top . Very small subtle hollows.
I just borrowed a med 2 oz. size different angles less concave ,the top was pretty much straight.
The line tie looked low[below center}?
I'm interested to know how you are able to replicate consistanly - jigs used

Cloned from BM Schoolie, but will use a Lefty 2-Midslot lip since the one BM uses is a proprietary hybrid pikie lip.

Swam one with the L2 lip that I bent up a bit and got a pleasant surprise. Instead of swimming on or just below the surface as the BM did, these went down 4+ feet in a moderate current and had a nice wide wiggle witht the line tie level. With the tie bent down parallel to the lip it swam down about 12" with the same action.

After these cure for another couple days I'll wire up.

Thanks to all who have inspired, assisted and tolerated,

I learned this when building rods-

mix your epoxy on a sheet of glass and then heat if from below to decrease the viscosity and let the air bubbles escape. Hardened epoxy easily scrapes off with a razor blade and the glass can be used over and over.

Bonus- because the epoxy is spread out the heat released by the exothermic reaction between the resin and the hardener will dissipate and give you a longer pot life than if it were in a cup.

Look nice Jon- like the slim profile. Like me.
