One version of this minnow style lure I have has a deep diving bill with the line tie on the bill. For that one I'll make a shortened wire that only goes from the belly hook to the tail for the mold. The longer diving bill with the line tie is epoxied in later, and the lip slot is cut at a sharper angle. Heres a pic with some lips epoxied in place, one example of a deep diver and a few others.
