Goo Goo part 2

I am starting to dry run applying the lips to the goo goo eyes I am making and after looking at the 2 examples I have, thanks Pete, I have noticed that each one has the same lip but mounted in different locations as far as the distance it hangs below the body of the plug. They are also bent in different places in the lip too. Why? One plug seems to be a trolling plug and the smaller version seems to be a casting plug but i am no expert which is why I ask these questions. Is the action different with the location, a yes I would imagine. I am making the trolling plug so do you think I should copy the location of the lip on the troller. Dah yeah I would think. If you notice the lip doesn't even hang below the body of the plug on the trolling plug which I find a little strange but maybe that is the swimming style of the plug. I have to admit I have never even seen one of these babies swim yet I am trying to make one dumb I know but I don't own any so I am relying on your expertise to help me. After I make some and swim them from the boat next spring I will be able to make a more educated guess, but for now i am flying blind. It seems like a very straight forward simple plug. Just don't understand the lip location being so different on the 2 versions. Here are some photos to explain my questions
