Took my new plugs for a test swim in the canal this morning. Some swam nicely and had really nice action, but a few swam like crap. They didn't really swim at all, kind of disappointing. So I was wondering, what can you do to a finished plug to improve it's action? I tried tinkering with the lip (helped a little) and thought about changing hooks. Any other ideas / techniques?

By the way, I didn't catch anything. Saw only a few (literally only about 3) fish break the surface all morning.

Thanks
