Thanks for the kind words guys. still tinkering with these trying to get them to swim right. i started out with a 1/4 tail weight and the plug sank on me.

I rewired it yesterday with about 1/3 less weight in the tail. tested it this morning.....it now just barely sinks. mine is only 5g heavier than lou's, but i put a belly weight in front of the hook instead of behind it.

Im going to take a little more off the tail weight and if that doesn't work i'll start changing the hooks.
