Is the reverse Atom that boats would troll the same as the A 40 without the lip? I have three never used ones, and I figured that I could use one to make a master with.

Remember the plastic Atom is hollow and was made with holes in it to hold water and make it cast farther without the lip to make it kite.It wasn't made as a trolling lure but some of the boat guys years ago trolled it behind a drail sinker so that it would stay down. that's also why Bob made the weighted p-40's .The new wooden ones have lot more weight and mass due to being solid so the work much differently.Ron

Thats what I thought. I remember being on a couple of charters when I was a little kid, and those lures always had fish hitting them.
