20-25MM 2-4gram Hard Body

[one kay gee]

I plan to make some 20-25mm 2-4 gram Hard Body Lures.

Is there any manufacturer who does these ?

The design will be Shallow Diving,imitating Micro Bait Fish....

R2S to a little chubby style 30mm lure, Rapala do some that are like beans in that size range I think. hawk have or had one in the 30mm range as well.
Trouble with lures in that size range is lack of casting weight.

If you learn to fly fish and tie flies there are a heap of fly patterns that imitate what you are looking at. From others experience (unfortunately not mine) when Tuna are taking small bait the fly is a great option as you can have a small/slim profile baitfish that still suspends (not sinks like a rock like a metal slug) and you can still get a decent cast distance (well some people can).

Bassday sugar deep and Zipbaits Rigge 35 are both 35 mm's in that weight range

ZipBaits Baby Hickory SR & MDR are 25mm, small doesn't always mean better though
