Description

We were trying to find a quality metal shop to make plug lips for more than five years. Finally, we found a shop with the machines, ability, and willingness to work with us, which is where we get our "365 LureCraft" branded lips. All of those are manufactured to our specifications. But recently we’ve also found a couple of smaller manufacturers willing to make a variety of metal lips in smaller quantities. This listing you’re looking at now is one of those small run products. These are basically copies of older model lips, like the ones sold by the old M&D Outfitters shop and others. Quality is very good, but we were not involved in the design process. We’ll provide as many details as possible here, but please let us know if you’ve got any questions. The names for these lips were provided by the metal shop, so a couple of them might be a little obscure. This lip you see here is the “Lefty 2 - high-slot” (almost identical to our “Lefty Medium”). This Lefty 2 measures 1 1/16” wide at its widest point. The bottom semi-circle measures 13/16” tall, with a flat face 5/8” tall. The wire slot is centered horizontally and high on the face, located 1/8” from the top bend. Stamped from 0.0256” thick stainless. Assuming we didn’t make a mistake on the math, all of our components are priced to be slightly cheaper per unit, the larger the quantity pack you purchase. If you’re looking for a larger quantity than what you see listed, please don’t be shy about emailing and inquiring. All of the lures and lures building components that we list on our website are in-stock and ready to ship. We do our best to manage our inventory to be as accurate as possible, which allows us to ship orders promptly. Most orders are packed and shipped within 24-hours.

Field Notes

This is a replacement metal lip component for building or repairing plugs, especially older-style inshore wooden or hard-bodied swimmers. Use it when tuning custom plugs or replacing a damaged lip to restore the lure's swimming action and running angle.

Pros

  • Stainless steel construction
  • Useful for custom plug building and repairs
  • Small-run component for older-style plug designs

Cons

  • Requires lure-building or repair skills
  • No standalone fishing use
  • Exact fit depends on the plug body and wire slot alignment
