In general
higher wire holes make the plug dig deeper and make it more stable with more wiggle than roll ( a mid line tie and moving the lip back as on a plastic swimmer creates even more wiggle and less roll)
Lower wire holes keep a plug up but make it less stable and roll/wobble more (which is ideal for surface swimmers meant to be retrieved slowly)
For any given lip length, the wider the lip the more a plug will roll ( I think). Probably this is why they bend the edges on wide pikie lips.
For any given lip width and wire position, the longer the lip the more depth you will get and more wobble at low speeds
increasing the distance between the wire position and the bend in the lip ( like a conrad) increases depth, but adds instability creating wobble and roll.
As for the roll/wobble thing....I think the length of a plug and weight position are as big a factor as the lip. On a long plug, a narrow lip may try to create wobble, but the water resistance against the sides prevents it and the plug rolls instead....particularly if it is weighted in the middle as opposed to the chin (since the force to move that weight side to side is more the further from the lip it is placed).
After that I get confused.
