Embodiments relate to fishing lures with a lure body having a proximal end and a distal end extending longitudinally along a central axis, a proximal end region, and two substantially mirror image side surfaces. A lure lip is provided in the proximal end region of the lure body. The lure lip protrudes outwardly from the lure body along a plane at an angle to the central axis. One or a plurality of holes are provided through the lure lip being spaced along a centerline of the lure lip. The holes in the lure lip are sized to receive a substantially rigid connector inserted through a selected one of them. At least one hole through the lure lip is manufactured with a major axis or diameter greater than the diameter of a traditional clearance hole for a corresponding nominal diameter substantially rigid connector.
A fishing lure, comprising:
A fishing lure, comprising:
A lure lip for a fishing lure, the lure lip having a top surface, a bottom surface, two opposing side surfaces, a centerline between the opposing side surfaces, and at least one hole through it, the at least one hole sized to receive a substantially rigid connector having a shaft inserted through the hole, the at least one hole manufactured with a major axis at the top surface or the bottom surface of the lure lip, the major axis substantially perpendicular to the centerline between the side surfaces, a minor axis along the same surface as the major axis, the minor axis substantially parallel to the centerline of the lure lip, and the major axis substantially greater than the minor axis wherein the lure lip has a plurality of manufactured holes through it, each hole configured to individually receive a substantially rigid connector, and the holes configured to enable the substantially rigid connector to have a different degree of maximum tilt relative to a top surface of the lure lip when the substantially rigid connector is positioned in a select one of the holes.
