George, I think that is a start and what I had in mind. But I had picked up a sample pack of a-lot-of-lips, and, as I look at them beyond aesthetics, it is hard to predict how they will work out.
At lunch today I tossed a few plugs with different lips in the truck and ran down to the dock and tossed them in. The plugs were the same , except for the lip.
I had a lefty, a danny and a pike lip. The danny made it sprial, the lefty swam erratically at random times, and the pike was the best but still now exactly what I wanted. As an engineer I find the whole trial and error approach very crude way of doing things, and while it may find a satisfactory solution, I think it will almost aways be sub-optimal. There has got to be a way to better define the cause and effect of each element of the lip. But this would take a lot of work. So I will have to rely on experience and trial and error.
We need a PhD student with some time on his hands...that is what we need.
