The same thing happened to me but it was with a cheapo lure I got at a flea market in Florida. I was minding my own business when the bluefish came along. I was catching them up at a pretty good clip when they went anto a shallow spot. One of them grabbed it and must have bounced it off the bottom. When I got him in I noticed the lip had broken off. Not all of it but most of it. I figured, what the hell, they will eat anything as long as it is moving so I continued to cast with it. I noticed that when reeled slow it had a slight wiggle and swam just below the surface. When I reeled in quick it worked kind of like a popper especially when I gave it a quick jerk or twitch. I kept catching them until they left and later after dark I was into Bass with it.
I have since lost it to a toothy Blue but it produced while it lasted. Although I don't think I could just break off a lip and have it work like that even though I had thought of it a few times it was not attempted.
