im using the stock NJ tackle danny2 lip.. 2 slots- I use the top slot& bend the loop down a pinch.
bottom slot makes them roll too much IMO..

also, its really not that slim.. the nose is a pinch wider than the lip

Nebe, Try making the plug face and the lip the same width and cutting about 1/8" off the lip in front, replicate the radius of the arc. That combination swam pretty good in current for me. I also trimmed a few lips down in width (PIA!!!) and that seemed to help, too.

Nice plug johnny hardware.
I have one similar to that u made just a tad larger.
Stop usin splitrings,cut the hooks.
the back split ring on the first plug is spread some already.If that rides up on the swivel u'll be cryin.
Why enviro I like the other finish.
No eyes on a danny.
Thank you.
Z wakin a plug on top can be achieved with many different styles. Just a matter of how u make em.
One Mans danny is another mans A-40.
With a little fine tinning he can tro that plug in a breachway.
