Atom lip specs – which lip for Gibbs GTS 3/4 trolling lure?

Looking for specific vendor’s lip recommendation for the Gibbs GTS 3/4 lure spec’d out by capesams with picture posted by vineyardblues in this old thread…
http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...lp-needed.html

It says “Atom Lip.” I'm guessing this lip is available from one of the fine sponsors? I just need to know which one to buy. Which one is closest to original design? Thanks for any info.

Salty's Jr or SR lip
Saltwater DIY Metal lips & parts
A40SR Style Round nose metal lip - Mid Slot
A40JR Dual Slot Round nose metal lip - Mid/Upper Slot

NJ Tackle
A-40 Style Plug Lip - CODE: PBS-LIPA40
Plug Building Supplies :: Plug Lips :: A-40 Style Plug Lip - NJ Tackle

Cape Cod Tackle
ATOM 40 style
Cape Cod Tackle: ATOM 40 style

Thanks again for any help with specs on the Gibbs lip or a recommendation.

I have used both an A40 and a pikie 3 lip for the 3.75oz 10" GTS plug. the thru wire is dead center so the lip slot is above center... either one works fine

angle the lip slot down to avoid splitting the wood

Blond Terror, Thanks for the feedback. Haven't ever seen one of these up close and just wanted to make sure. I will pick up some atom 40 lips and do a little testing. Thanks for the pointer on the angled down lip slot.
