Sonny.Barile Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 (edited) What is the design intention of narrow straight lips……shaped like a popsickle stick? I see them on skinny suspending jerk baits. Usually no wider than the body……so they don’t stick out of the sides of the bait. Edited October 7 by Sonny.Barile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 Up to a point, the narrower the lip the more rocking motion a bait will have, flashing its sides up and down. Wider lips have much less rock and more tail wag. If you make a lip more narrow than the width of the bait, it can cause the bait to blow out and begin to spin on a constant retrieve. That matters more on regular crankbaits and less on jerkbaits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
