I have a fishing lure (curly tail grub). If I fish it parallel with the Current it travels straight. As I deviate and retrieve at an angle the the current, my bait also travels at an angle (smaller then shown in drawing), in relation to me. The larger my angle in relation to the current, the larger the angle in relation to me. Why? And if I wanted to decrease this angle, how would I change my lure profile

I wouldn’t worry about it.
You can tie directly to the bait with any constrictor type knot like improved clinch knot and adjust the knot position on the line tie on each cast but thats not really reliable. Personally I dont believe its going to make any difference in catch rate. If you want, add a stinger hook tied to the main hook trailing to the back of the bait for light bites or short strikes. Dont hook the stinger into the plastic, let it free float so the fish can inhale it easily.
