a real 7400 ccb no weighting ,,, they deid make a 7400 L ? That was tail weighted .. Don't know about the troublemaker ... chin weighted is for pikes .

I will check on the 3 oz. Troublemakers I own but I do not think they have any weight. I can tell you that my "Prey" swimmer is a surfster and it has a shot of "00" dead center in the belly and gives it great action....I like a little keel in my surfsters. Otherwise they seem to roll too much.

Thanks for response 's I just turned a couple of similar shapes.
The belly at mid point is screaming for a shot of lead .
I like to tail wt. to some degree ,just don't want to kill action
A few proto's and some testing:fishin:
