I made a few Danny swimmers as per the Fisherman mag. article. They swim good at a very slow speed but they roll from about 10to 2. I tried a heavier belly weight 8 gram from 4 grams. Same roll but it struggled to get into a wiggle at the start up. It stays on top fine either weight. I'm using 3--2/0 trebles also. They are not painted yet, just sealed and primed. I did consider plugging the eye sockets and painting them solid. I rather not if I can lessin the roll. What do you plug builders consider too much roll?
