Default any tips on making lures dive?

ok guys, got me a rotary tool and some plexiglass. im working on bassintxladys lure, just cut out the bill which i think is pretty good, but can any of you give me some general info on the diving bills and stuff? i know the more paralell to the bait, the longer the dive, and the wider the lip the more wobble. i also know that the further from the bait the line tie, the shorter the dive. any other tips on like how to shape em or make perfect shaped ones or just making them in general? i just use a template i found somewhere, trace it with a permanent marker, and use the cut-off wheels with my rotary tool to cut out the lip, then i sand it. should i also deburr it? or would the sanding be enough? i also like to sand the edge of the lip further from the bait to make it narrower. i see that on all of my lures, so i decided id do it. im now officially broke, so all ive got now is my deal with dad to fall abck on for lures for the rest of the year. i got the warranty with the st.croix rod anyways, so im good on rods for the year, and ill have 2 usuable reels. not too bad. maybe if i get good enough, i can sell there handmade lures for a lil cash, but i doubt that.
