I make mine like the original, it has one belly weight a little before the tail, no tail-center-weight at all. I use a 3/8" belly weight or try to proportion it to the size of the body. I just made a few more so I'll put some pics up soon. The first one I made a few years ago worked well, they don't cast as well as a pencil but they spook much better than a spook. If you have an orininal, try to get the profile close to that, it helps also. Did you use ayc? Like tagger said, the belly hook should go far back, next time try a bit further back with the hook,no tail weight just a belly weight.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
