Drill them eh! I have to try this.

Symmetrically mate : stay of the weed when you decide to drill them .... dont want your lure darting from side to side ... that would be a pity LOL

Very interesting, looks like I will be trying this over the weekend. now to find a drill & some drill bits

Thanks Fred

will experiment with the symmetrical holes and see what i end up with.

I want to convert DD into shallow runners.

will update after I try out the modified lures.

Cheers

I kind of agree with Ken, most of the time lip modifications tend to screw up the lure. I have not tried Fred's technique though so I cannot comment, however having fished at Lands end for years with Fred several pounds ago, under the same trying conditions, deprived of tackle I will say this…necessity of the mother of invention. Go drill them holes, seems like the deep diver is of no use to you anyway, so if you screw up the lure you do not loose much, but if it works for you….

Bobby is bang on. The lure is of no real use to you. Experiment with it, drill holes or file the lip down. Who knows what might happen. You could end up with something irresistible.
