Looking for specific vendor’s lip recommendation for the Gibbs GTS 3/4 lure spec’d out by capesams with picture posted by vineyardblues in this old thread…

It says “Atom Lip.” I'm guessing this lip is available from one of the fine sponsors? I just need to know which one to buy. Which one is closest to original design? Thanks for any info.

Thanks again for any help with specs on the Gibbs lip or a recommendation.

I have used both an A40 and a pikie 3 lip for the 3.75oz 10" GTS plug. the thru wire is dead center so the lip slot is above center... either one works fine

angle the lip slot down to avoid splitting the wood

Blond Terror, Thanks for the feedback. Haven't ever seen one of these up close and just wanted to make sure. I will pick up some atom 40 lips and do a little testing. Thanks for the pointer on the angled down lip slot.
