Hank heres some rules I have gleaned off of these boards over the years-

Rule #1 danny lips make a plug wiggle and pikie lips make them wobble (cross between wiggle and roll)...

rule #2 a belly weight in the belly makes a plug wiggle like a snake and a weight in the nose makes the plug's tail wiggle... think of it as a pivot point.

Rule#3 belly hook placement will also dictate pivot points to some degree and the bigger the hooks the more action you will loose.

rule#4 nose loop placement dictates if a plug stays on top or wants to dive...

rule #5 a huge tailhook can also deaden the action

rule #6 never weight the tail of a swimmer.
