The winner has already been chosen...no more guesses will be considered. Thank you all for playing along.

Thanks for testing stuff like this. It sure does everyone a lot of good. Can't wait for the Master Class for Weighting & Balancing!

You should make a wandering crank bait and see what it takes to get it to wander. Love this stuff my dude!

I love modification comparisons. Reminds me of a "Crash Dummy" paint job, excellent for "tests". LOL Thanks for the video Franko! More than 0-0.00. 😉

Great information definitely going to use it. 2 lb 1.15 oz hope I win at love watching your show haven't missed one yet since I've subscribed and went back to watch all the previous shows to me you're the best KZfaq bait maker out there for information on lure making for the engineering portion thank you

1lb 9.78oz Great info! Thanks 😁

While a longer bill certainly has potential for a large surface area for water to hit. I think the weight of the bills are extremely important for judging the action. Also ballast weight placement. So each lure sits in the water, rises the same, and weighs the same.

Very interesting and informative. I plan on the coffin style going into my longer baits ant the square bill in my shorter ones. My guess is 1lb 4.89oz.

I really like the action on that round bill. Gonna have to make one to try. 1lb 4.28 ounces.

2 lb 2.24 oz, thanks for all the content

Freaking sweet. Good test. Circle lips it is from here on out.

Hi Franco. Thank you for the lip testing. I think I asked you about this topic in a prior video for the QOTW. My guess is 2.06lbs. Thank you again! 👍🏻🎣🇨🇦

Great video, lots of useful information. I will be giving that circular lip a try for sure. 1# 7.55oz.

2lb 13oz Great videos as always!!!

1lb 10oz 03....... Nice test 👌 very helpful, testing videos are a great idea 👍👍 bring back the master classes!

Love the video. My guess is 2lb 7.25oz

Great finding! parhaps the lure will run straight on the same axis with a concave shape on both side of lip while letting it wiggle.

Great video, always enjoy watching!! 3lb 2.56oz

Great videos! My guess is 2lb 1.07oz

Guess: 2lb 2.21oz Thanks for making these awesome videos! I really appreciate the work and detail you put into them.

1lb. 2.73 oz. I enjoyed the video and liked the action of the round bill best. I fish clear water, so too much action can scare the fish off.

I being used the round beal in somo of my lures and i catch more fish since ..thx you engendering for ur instructions.

Love this video! I am an engineer also and like to know "why" a bait is designed like it is. Keep it up!

Loved the video! My guess is 1 lb 9.34 oz

2lb 12.12oz This is really handy information. I have a number of lures that I can change the bib length on. I'll try different shapes to see how they work. Thanks for the videos.

Thanks 🙏 so much Franco, videos like those are "money on the bank", I can't say how much I am appreciating yours!!!!!! I modified a small owen as yours, I added a termostat, rex c100, well insulate with ceramic fiber . It works great, I can now control temp precisely, perfect for jobs as the one that you're showing. I was straggling while powder coating, once I begun to preheat my buzz, spinner bait, etc, at 120 c, I was finally able to powder coat, cure, in the proper way. The termostat rex c100 costs nothing, it is an awesome piece of technology, "it learns, adapts" to that unique owen characteristics maintaining a really precise temp. I say so cause I tested it with different termometers, using it since several years now.

I’m gonna try that circle bib! 1lb 2.40oz thanks!!!

1lb 5.42oz awesome video😎

Another great build good luck to all who enters

I love the channel, and how much time, effort and care you put in to each lure and explanation. My guess for the bass is 2lbs 0.24 oz. Thanks for everything

thanks for another great video :) My guess is 2lb 2.64oz.

Really like the action of the round bib! Thanks for the comparison between bib shapes! My guess for the weight is 1lb 6.57oz

I'm a fly fisherman, but I really enjoy watching your videos!! Nice looking lure!!

1lb 4.16 oz I certainly enjoy learning from your videos! Thank you!

a fisherman would tell it"s a 10 pounder for sure haha my guess 1 lb 5.64 Oz Something i tried, was to play with the bill's wideness where it would stick out from the side of the body vs flush to the body where the insert is. What i find is that when the bill sticks out right away from the insert, i think it catches more water. The lure would have more"headshake" left to right. The flush to the body insert, would have less of that action but you go slimmer lip shape, it would allow more belly roll. It"s a great library of lure making you did. It will be a great reference and congrats on the 40k subscribers

Love your videos. My guess is 1lb 12.56 oz

Franco I like the action of the circle bib, the question I have is: if you had a larger circle would the lure still have the same action or more erratic. My guess for the weight is 0lbs 14.45ozs.

i love this video showing effects on bib vs bait design.... as to fish weight 2lb 1 .03oz.

1lb 6oz 41... love the info-thanks

love the science. I'm going to go with 1lb 2.11oz

2lb 7.17 oz. Still love watching your videos!

1lb7.82oz bass. Nice video and thanks

Another great video! 1lb 9oz 32.

Great tips thank ❤, I watched a similar video in which 4 same lures and 4 same liples were tested, only the liples were at a different angle, 25, 35, 55 and 70 angle, and each lure gave a different performance of the lure, 55 turned out to have the strongest action

Love the caparison, thanks for taking the time to do that. Square is my favorite. My weight guess is 1lb 8.13oz

Hello my friend happy fishing 🎣 Friday I enjoy seeing your hand made fishing lures videos 🎒🫶🏼🎣👍🏼

Great video. I love the round bib! I am guessing the fish you caught is close to 1 lb 7.12 oz😊😊😊

Enjoyed the video, 1 lb 12.32 oz

They all have great action. I'd say the fish was 1lb 5.72oz.

Excellent video! You covered another area I am struggling with.

Hi! You’re videos are so helpful! It would so great to test which swim is most attractive…but it might depends on the species…and the fish…and time of the day…and …😅 Could you tell the products that you used to prepare the lure before the painting? Thanks!

Really interesting and informative video, it's great to see the difference in action in the identical lures. I also like how you organize your materials in your workshop. Great work 👍🏻

I like the fact that you are a veteran angler, but continue to want to know more about the science behind the lures, 1lb 7oz.46. Thanks for the video

Awesome video! As an engineer I love your content! I'm going to guess 1 lb 3.77 oz

Hi there! Great job, you always inspire us with your videos I am super fan of your channel. I guess the fish wieght its about 1lb 0,83oz. 🇨🇷

Lovely and informative ❤ 1lb2.35oz

Great video as always. The square bill is my favorite. I think the more action you can get out of a lure, the better the fish bites it. My guess is 1lb 3.25 oz.

I learned a lot from this video--thanks. Of course I generally learn a lot from your channel anyway. I think the circle bib looked the most like a wounded minnow! My guess is: 1 LB 4.31 OZ

Hi Franco, Thanks again for all the great content. I'm guessing 1lb, 9.62 oz

Nice comparison. It's nice to see the different actions. My guess is 1 lb. 14.13 oz.

1lb 6.38oz Nice comparison video. The jelly bean would be a great candidate for lip angle and also a weight distribution comparison.

1# 5.60oz. I really enjoy videos like this. I think the rounded and coffin bibs probably have the stability needed for trolling and the square and circle bibs hunt more and would be better for cranking. Thanks for the great content!

Interesting comparisons for the lips! That bass is exactly 1lb 8.50

Great video. I like the square bill best. And my guess is 1 lb 5.13 oz

I would stay the fish weighed in at 3lbs,4 ounces. Keep up the great work Frank. Thank you. Charles Ridgen

Great video on this information brother!! You are making it really clear to everyone when it comes to selecting a new fishing lure 🙏🏽

I always been a lipless guy, it's hard to beat the versatility of a lipless it's like a jig.

1lb, 6.13oz. Oh, and great work-as always!

Great show as always.... I will go with 1 lb 6oz .48

nice demo on the effects of the different bill designs. 1 lb 9.87oz

nice way to know how lures work, personally, i would test them with hooks, because, in the end, you will fish them with hooks

I kinda like the round one the best. Great video. My guess is 1lb 3.69oz🎣

As usual a perfect video Franco, thank you! My guess for the weight is 1lb 9,04oz ✌🏼

Great tips on the oily substance that weeps out of castings. I normally just let them sit for a couple weeks….but glad to know that there IS a quicker method, and that its only a couple hours. 👍👍👍 …..often i get excited about making a bait….but then lose my enthusiasm after waiting a week, to paint….which then becomes a chore, because you’ve lost your Mojo for the project. I’ll be employing that curing tip, for sure.

1lb 7.34oz like the round bib better action great job can't wait for the next vid

Franko this was an extremely informative video. Love the content!!!! my guess for the weight of the largemouth Bass is 2lbs. 3.25oz.

1lb. 6.78 oz. The square blade seems like the first choice for me.

1lb 4.47 oz great video

2.342. I like to use the shape that catches a fish and when that shape stops working I change.

1lb 6.15oz? Awesome vid as always!

Amazing stuff as always..always learn so much….1lb 2.69oz 🎣🍻

Great information. My guess is 1 pd. 4.17 oz. Thanks for the videos.

I live central indiana, and the squarebill is a big producer for me.

That hunting action on that squarebill is money ❤ 2lb 1.3 oz

Thank you so much.

Love you videos, 😍 but that checkered paint job that round bill looks amazing 👏 thanks

Great experiment!! Keep up the good work!! My guess is 1 lb 7.36 oz. 🎣

1lb 7.48 oz. Thanks for another informative video Franco.

Really interesting content, I never though about different shaped bibs and how they affect a lure, thanks Franko

Great job and demonstration my guess would be 1lb 02.32oz. Keep up the great work you do.

great video as always thanks 1lb 3.23oz

I’d say it weighs 1lb 2.34oz. I love the round lip lure. I will definitely be trying to build one like that. Thank you for doing the demonstration. That was a lot of information in a short video!!!

Awesome test. 1.888 just for the eight of it.

Love your videos man. I’m guessing 1lb 11.38 oz
