Ended up with three belly weights to get it sitting vertically in the water. The back of the plug is exposed above the water line about 1/2" or so. It sits ever so slightly tail down, with the nose screw eye sitting just above the water line. Plan to find a dock today to see how it swims. I'll bring a bigger treble for the front hook and a single for the tail hook just to see how those changes affect the attitude of the plug in the water.
