Doesn't a shallow lip make the bait dive deeper? Either way sweet bait, it's like a pike walleye combo color

Here's an interesting site that addresses the issue of how the crankbait lip angle affects the dive depth

because the eye is not on the lip it will not go as deep as it supposed ,but if you want something shallow put the lip almost vertical like hawg wobbler

I took this bait out this morning for a swim. It has one of the most unusual trolling actions I've ever seen. At 2.5 mph it porpoises about 2 feet peak-to-peak with almost no side shimmy. As the speed increases the porpoise depth increases and as speed further increases some side shimmy is apparent on top of the porpoise action and there's a bit of wander.
