Final Version...

Added another hook and went up a size to 3/0 VMC from 2/0 Eagle Claw. Swam really well, tugging back against me as I reeled in. I'm beginning to get the sense that there is a certain "sense of life" at the other end of the line that occurs when a plug is swimming well. Wouldn't roll over when I swept or jerked the rod tip. May still play with the lip size a bit more (try a smaller one) or put on a small pikie lip to see what the difference is.

This has been a huge help. Parallel to this I've been doing a series of other bodies (dannies and other swimmers) and going thru the same thing. What I've learened on this one, I've been able to apply to the others. COOL!!!
