Adjustable Lip Crankbait

Adjustable Lip Crankbait
This is a project I started back in September 2021. This is just a concept to make an adjustable lip crankbait to test the effects on lip angle. It will probably be a marathon project but this is what the design looks like so far.
The overall design still has your basic crankbait body shape.
The main aspect of the design use a worm gear set up that will allow for the lip angle to be easily changed with a screwdriver while out fishing.
In this animation you can see how turning the worm gear from the top of the lure will change the angle of the lip.
I tried to design it so there was no gaps in the front of the bait when the lip moves… but this leads to some challenges with the front tie on point.
I’m still working on that part of the design but it needs to look something like this where it is stationary and independent from the lip. I also plan on trying a version with the tie on point on the lip to see how that effects things.
To be continued as I progress…

When can we buy or download this file. It looks like a great concept I would like to try.
I’m still working on this concept… I have printed the pieces I just have been waiting for everything to thaw out so I can get out and start testing it.
Oh gotcha I will be waiting for the test to see how it does. Hopefully it does good
I can`t wait to see the result.
Keep up the great works and keep us up to date 😉
how do I go about getting the files for this, If thats even possible. I’m willing to buy the files from you via PayPal, or Venmo. I dont care how well it works
Sorry this is still “in the works” so the files are not available yet.
hi, I can`t wait to see the result too. Thanks

I am still working on it I just haven’t had the time to update the page.
I am amazed at the ingenuity!
Thanks… I have printed out the prototypes I just haven’t had the time to fully test them or update the page yet.
Did you test it? Good idea btw
I have printed a few different version and have begun testing I just haven’t had the time to update this page yet.
I can’t wait to see it on the market. I need one In bluegill color. Awesome concept.
Hi Dane,
Agreed, I cannot wait to see this completed.
With that being said, are you aware of any other versions similar to this on the market, that are adjustable?
Keep fishin’,
