Eric what style lip? I actually did the similar plug. Still testing but mix results. As George mentioned, a lower lip slot will help. I did my first proto by hand w/o a model. Used 2 hooks. Swam it w/a lefty 1 mid slot. Top water crawl -no wiggle. Picked up speed, dove with action but needs current. Not a bad thing if your river fishing. Next version 1 hook 3" back. Plug is 7" long. Added a medium salty surfster round lip. Swam w/action on top and gave nice movement lowering rod tip and pickup the speed. It is AYC. I will try pine or cedar for a strictly top water. One conclusion, casts like a wet paper plate.
