Lip Question

Wondering what type lip you guys use for jointed eels, and what would be best for big3+ Dannys. Thanks.

come over heeya, I got a fat lip for, ya.

IMO, you want a rounded lip to make an exaggerated articulation in the water like an eel. As opposed to the danny style that gives a tighter wiggle. Go for the biggest "Lefty" style lip possible

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus

Tony:

Did you ask
"You want to know what kind of lips to put on your jointed eel ?" If you were to ask that question at some of the bars I go to, you might get a slightly different answer than Krispy gave you...."exaggerated articulation" as opposed to a "tighter wiggle".

good one !


I think this winter is affecting us all.

I just finished a 3 jointed eel plug. It swims awsome. I used a HI-Lo danny lip. It 's definately a wild S in the water.

closest thing to a mur-eel is a small lefty lip Tony.
