I went down to a ripping outflow yesterday to swim one in some moving water. In calm water it came in right on top with a big v-wake like a motor boat.. in the rip it came in about 4 inches under and still made a V-wake like a submarine.. Didnt pop out at all and the action is all wiggle, no rolling.
I really like this red cedar for swimmers, its nasty stuff to turn, but its so bouyant.. perfect for plugs you want to stay on the surface.

Sorry if I have a eagle eye.

Too bad bout the Kompressor.Welcome to the crap world of epoxy.
Instead of Val oil try heating a ready to prime blank up 10 mins at 200. an coat wit epoxy.pour in the holes an use a pipe cleaner to service the insides.Keep applyin til it don't soak no more.wipe off the excess an let dry then prime an paint.Makes a nearly indestructo plug.
I really like red cedar also for swimability.u can always weight to suit.
