Sonny.Barile Posted October 7, 2024 Report Share Posted October 7, 2024 (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.

BobP Posted October 21, 2024 Report Share Posted October 21, 2024 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...
