The lip looks like it's mounted upside down in the picture. If you ordered these did they come that way? I'm guessing the bait might still dive with the lip like that but not sure. Did they have rattles?

I had to laugh at the listing. Lip is upside down. Listed as a topwater. The listing shows that several have been sold already though...

LOL! Perhaps their way of making it different than the orgiinal. Also looks like the hook hangers are a thin gauge steel rather than a typical hook hanger.

I ordered a 3 pack of them. The lips come separate, you have to attach them, I do not remember if they are upside down or not on mine. I will report back when I get home after work and check them out. The overall action is similar to a Jake if I remember, I didn't really throw them too much.

Here are a couple pics of the set I got the day before a trip, shot them quick and 1 sloppy coat of clear to get them fishable (aka don't judge the paint ;)). I thought they were the same ones but my hook hangers look normal. I thought the action was ok but I realize I've never thrown a real 10" jake so I can't really compare. For the price they aren't horrible, definitely not the same quality as the real deal.

Oh yeah, the lips on mine are the correct orientation.
