Is your line tie center on the big Gibbs?

It looks like you may have used a standard pikie 3 lip with a high line tie that would have brought the wire out above center. Using a standard high slot pikie 3 lip and mounting it lower changes the plug as well, since the lip hangs lower. If you use a stock Pikie 3 lip for these plugs I think you will need to cut a lower line slot.

The key to these plugs is that they were built for stability while trolling, which is why they are center drilled, torpedo shaped, and carry such a high lip.


Ooopps, I looked at the picture and didn't read your post. See that you bent your own lips. Was going to delete, but decided to leave what I said for the benefit of anyone else copying the plug.
