The higher the slot the higher it will swim. The lower the slot the lower the line tie and it will dig more.

Careful, I think you've got that one reversed. High slot lips go deep, low slot lips stay up. The distance between the line tie and the bottom part of the lip is the crucial dimension. The farther apart the greater the depth. There is also some lifting action that occurs with surface swimmers when the line tie is low that keeps them coming up. That is also why you bend the line tie down to go up and up to go down. Gets confusing.

Pardon the begging, but it is another reason why we want a midslot Pikie 3 lip option to replicate the original large Pichney surface swimmer lip.
Either that or a run of these new conrad sr lips with a mid slot (the actual Sr lip has a high slot, but the larger pichney atom and the slope head used a midslot conrad style lip). Please
