| best buy a new lure. normally baits and lips are designed as 1 unit. |

Location: Money, PA | It also depends on the angle of the lip....If the lure is designed to be a deeper diver and you try shortening the lip, often times it will not run properly if at all. I would certainly take small amounts off at a time and test and repeat. |

| I've used a file. If you're removing a lot I would use a belt sander and finish with the file. |
