I have some Lupo Dannys, and some of the first Gibbs Dannys. They have a wide lip that causes a lot of roll. I caught a lot of fish on them, even with a lot of roll. I have a feeling that the aesthetics of having too much roll may have more of an effect on fishermen than fish. With solid color plugs, even I have a difficult time seeing the roll.

My own experiments with lips, although limited, shows that wider lips cause more roll, narrow lips have less. The newer Gibbs Dannys (since the late 80s) have narrower lips and less roll.
