im using the stock NJ tackle danny2 lip.. 2 slots- I use the top slot& bend the loop down a pinch.
bottom slot makes them roll too much IMO..

also, its really not that slim.. the nose is a pinch wider than the lip

Nebe, Try making the plug face and the lip the same width and cutting about 1/8" off the lip in front, replicate the radius of the arc. That combination swam pretty good in current for me. I also trimmed a few lips down in width (PIA!!!) and that seemed to help, too.

Eben - nice job! Especially with rattle cans. You will really enjoy a airbrush.
