I posed this question in the middle of another thread, but it's slowly gettin buried. I just turned this guy last week, finished it over the weekend, like the looks and would like to turn a bunch more... but want to get the weighting fine tuned.... This lady swims well 95% of the time just at the surface.. real purdy, but every now and then it rolls sideways and darts a bit... no apparent retrieve or current change... thoughs? its AYC, 3/0 hooks, Danny 2 lip, was thinking of a bit of lead in the nose, or maybe smaller tail hooks to get the nose down a tiny bit more...
Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
Color is tough to see, but it is bone color, with silver over that (light coat) and a black back, going for an old beat up rebel like color....

RIROCK, Danny style plugs are typically weighted between the belly hooks. I would start with about 1/4oz., and go from there.

looking at it Bump the rear treble up 1 size and the front
if it still rolls then bump just the back hook up 1 size
and Im saying that from looking at Your pic.
I got My reasons

So 4/0 on the belly hooks...?
Whats your take on the 1/4 oz between the belly hooks, I'm "weighing" all my options (No pun intended)
