Adding weight to crankbaits

[fishfight]

I lived in a condo with swimming pool , so I have the option to experiment on my crankbait.

You can drill a hole and add small split shot inside to make hem heavier ,then seal the hole with glue gun

Drill a small hole to allow water to enter, it will make them heavier as well. floating frogs have this option and sink deeper as it absorbs water.

Wrap some soldering iron to the hooks.

change front hook to bigger ones.

Extend the lip. Use wooden ice cream scooper found at dollar store, cut , shape and glue to lip, urethane them, option to add nail polish glitter.

Glue a penny or smaller coin currencies found from other countries.

You can even add a lip to rattler.

All I have suggested and worked as tested on the water. I used cheaper crank bait from dollarama that does not work too well or too light. Since Aliexpress.com sells quality lures cheap for $1 these days, I will not buy most dollarama crank bait lures again.
