I recently did a hand carved with a pretty long lip......swims okay but I didn't get the depth I desired. Head shape could be an issue......probably need a more "sleek" approach. Will play with lip angle and length as well. Was hoping someone could save me a step in the trial & error process with some insight. Back to the drawing board.
Curious how much wood vs. plastic has in the bouancy department as well.....it's gotta have some kind of play in the outcome as well.

terrible photos, but here are some pics of a musky plug. the lip is in line with the plug-no angle-and is long and round. This plug goes to about 20-25 feet.
check out moores-they have quite few different lips that you can't find at some of pur regular places

Go Bears!

Just google "Moores lures". It will be the first hit.

Thanks for taking me fishing Grandpa!

With long lips like that, the position of the line tie becomes crucial to avoid roll out. There where some very detailed threads on this by the freshwater guys on tackleunderground last winter.
