I was wading through the Internet recently when I bumped into an article called “Metal Lip Tuning Tips” by Dave Anderson on the fifth issue of Surfcasters Jounal.  I had to read the article from start to finish right then and there.  Why?   Because!  One, I love fishing metal lip plugs.  Two, it was written by Dave Anderson, the outdoor writer and lure builder.

In his article, Dave Anderson goes far beyond the “how to make a metal lip plug swim higher or lower in the water column” discussion.  From nail polish to securing egg sinkers to the bellies of metal lips, Dave Anderson leaves nothing out.  The article has more tips on tuning metal lip plugs than any other article or book I have read— and I am well read!  ;-).

I have read several of Dave Anderson’s articles in print.  I am glad his writing style and story telling skill remains unchanged online.
