Info on Franks pics.

As you can tell there are a few extra holes in the baits. Because of time constraints and the first time we made small baits in quantity. We decided early on not to do glass eyes or thru wire for these guys. We thought we would use glass rattles epoxied to the back side of the lips and screw eyes. Most baits where done with .072 screw eyes, we did not like the idea that the threads on a .072 are minute at best. I think .090 are the better choice for our application. The extra holes came from no glass eyes, this is where we would put the rattles normally. So we figured out we could drill the holes the same way at the eye and in the body. Thus giving even more rattle. We used a forstner bit to drill out enough for a punched out piece of aluminum about an 1/8" bigger than the aluminum itself and epoxy, then drill a hole all the way thru for the rattle. The rattle can be anything you like , we have been using BB's and air gun pellets.The aluminum was punched out with nut drivers that had the ends beveled and sharpened. The blue dots you see in some of the pics ,is the punch out .The lips were store bought this time around not made by us.
