Can a factory make a custom crankbait at a specific diving depth?
Short answer
Yes, and the depth has to be named as the target rather than inferred from the body length. Depth comes from the lip and the internal weighting together, so a brief that fixes length and colour has not specified the fishing behaviour.
In detail
State the depth and the retrieve it is meant for, and let the factory propose the lip and the ballast.
The numbers behind this answer
| Field | Why it matters | Status in this sample |
|---|---|---|
| Diving depth and bill geometry | Bill length and angle set how deep the lure runs, and they are separate tooling from the body | One listing is described as deep-diving; no depth figure is quoted |
| Field | What it decides | What it changes in the order |
|---|---|---|
| Diving depth class | How deep the bait runs on a stated retrieve | The single field that defines the product; it is set by the lip and the weighting together |
