This guy's about 8"x1 3/8". 3.75 ounces. Belly weights under the nose and about 3/4" in front of the rear belly screw. No tail slug on this one. I keep thinking that the belly screws should be about 1/2" further back that where they are.

nice :btu:

I'm a complete plug building newbie, so take my advice with about as much credibility as a "more, bigger, better" spam email...

But I agree, move the front hook back a bit, and perhaps loose the second belly hook...then send it too me :hihi:
