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!

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

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.

2lb 13oz Great videos as always!!!

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

2 lb 2.24 oz, thanks for all the content

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.

Love the video. My guess is 2lb 7.25oz

Great videos! My guess is 2lb 1.07oz

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! 👍🏻🎣🇨🇦

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

I appreciate that

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

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

Loved the video! My guess is 1 lb 9.34 oz

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

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.

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

2lb 7.17 oz. Still love watching your videos!

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

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

Lovely and informative ❤ 1lb2.35oz

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.

The larger the surface area the trend is, amplitude goes up and frequency goes down.

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

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. 😉

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

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

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

Enjoyed the video, 1 lb 12.32 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. 🇨🇷

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.

Lexan won't cope with any bending. Acrylic glass will, but it's useless as a bib. Won't last long. ABS would be my best bet.

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 KZread bait maker out there for information on lure making for the engineering portion thank you

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

True but sometimes the hooks make it harder to see the difference.

1lb 4.47 oz great video

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

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

1 lb 623 oz. My favorite action is the on the fish will eat! My guess is the fish will change over the course of a day

Depends if water temperature changes or not, usually

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

always love your educational content. 1lb 06.78oz

Been a while, but my best guess is 1 pound 5.23 oz.

Another great build good luck to all who enters

great video as always thanks 1lb 3.23oz

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

Awesome test. 1.888 just for the eight of it.

1lb 6.15oz? Awesome vid as always!

Отличная работа! Вы настоящий мастер.

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!

I will definitely try to make a circular one, and it seems to me that it has the best action, that's what I imagined, you just confirmed it, the idea came from mepps, aren't they also almost circular and have the best work, I won't make a completely circular one, I'm copying mepps😉, I believe it would perform just as well on a soft bait on the back tail

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

1lb 7.34 awesome video love watching you work 💪🏽💪🏽

Nice machines i wish I could have the equipment to make my own fishing luers 🎣 hopefully someday in the future

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.

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

I like the tombstone myself. Guess is 2.02.12

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

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

2lb 1.15oz

Great vid. gonna guess 1lb 10.22oz

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

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

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

1lb 3.67oz

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

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

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

One of the advantages of using the same crankbait with different actions is that fish can be very finicky. One may really shine MOST of the time but sometimes a different action will get the fish to react when your "Favorite" isnt' working. 1 lb 5.78 OZ

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

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 👍🏻

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!
