You need to cut your own lip, Paul has the dimensions. Any minor change in weight added by a wire can be countered by using slightly less belly weight. In a plug this short and small it won't matter much.

1/0 treble hooks (or 2/0 for that matter) are not going to hold consistently on a good fish using braid unless you hook her somewhere with no obstructions or current. Been there done that too many times already.

The balance of the plug and line tie position and lip dimensions have more to do with where it swims than the weight. For example, the Musso Pine and Musso Surface swimmer weigh the same, are shaped the same, but swim 4-8 feet apart.

If you want another good little swimmer, check out the "mini-musso" scale down I posted in a thread called "something constructive" a few years back. You can use a lefty1 lip on that plug.
