The type of lure you are describing is the most difficult to get right, and also the most difficult to make in a super sturdy fashion.
The deeper a lipped lure runs, the more critical the tuning. The bigger the lip, the more fragile.
That being said, it certainly can be done in a variety of different ways.
For larger lures, it's often best to use metal rather than plastic for the lips if you like to really whack bottom with this style of lure.
I usually place my lip in the mold and cast the lip right into the lure. Drill a few small holes thru the part of the lip that's imbedded in the lure to allow the plastic to flow thru it.
good luck! best,
