Most of P. are like that. I have a few BM's that are like that and some not like that. Pretty easy to do Bill. Gives it a tighter wiggle.

Yes lip slot is cut above the center on both. By my calculations, and these are only from plugs I have measured, the lip slot is .050 above center on the P. and .100 above center on the BM. The front face of the lip is .600 long. It ends up even with the bottom of the P. and slightly above the the bottom of the plug on the BM. Now you also have to take into account they put the slot in the same exact place on each of the 1000's of plugs they made or make. Taking that into account, variation, I would think they shoot for the bend to be pretty much even with the bottom of the plug IMO. I also seem to remember the lip being even higher, extreme, above center on the full size Conrads. But look at these pictures below and they only look slightly above center like the Jr.'s We shall see when I get it in my hands. I really think the lip orientation is fairly variable + or - .030 on the location, which probably gives pretty consistent swimming action either side of the 1/32 location. Not to say if you could put them exact every time that you would be better off. P. |

No. Both the original Jr and Sr that I posted xrays of float the same, level with the water just above the lip slot and the tail just under. The original Jr that Paul showed has its lip very close to the centerline, but the larger version has its lip 1/8" above the centerline. I think, however, that I have seen Jr versions with the lip also above the centerline and I am wondering if this was the way he did it with earlier maple versions. |
