How does the conrad lip make such a difference as opposed to a lip used on a danny? Is it a deep diver because the of the turned up edges?

Oh, and could Numbskull be kind enough to put up for viewing his schem's of the plug with out actually putting all the info up. Like you did with the Lido?

All this stuff is available in the plug forum, including xrays of the plugs and pictures of the lips. I'm pretty sure there are dimensions posted as well, if not Paul would have them (I just measure as i go).

The turned up edges just narrow a lip to produce less roll.
The Conrad lip works because there is a high line slot, and a long distance between the line tie and bottom portion of the lip that serves to tilt the plug forward and down. The weight of the plug has less to do with it, but obviously the less buoyancy the lip has to overcome the better (until you get into shallow water at which point you need some buoyancy to get it back up and in).

So does anybody else have experience fishing these things in breachways? Are you fishing the inside curve or outside (uptide) side?
You drifting them or casting and swinging across?

How about trolling? Anybody dragged one on wire? Maybe with a skin?
