Too long a taper, or too flat or steep a float angle and you get a waker. Get a shorter nose taper, and slight tail down attitude and they'll wag.
Wow !!! .. You get bonus points for all that George .. I never went for a swim or wag action . Mine fish like sticks,, I went for the slow retrieve sensitive rise/ fall .. I gotta see one of those swim .. even if its next winter on the poop deck ..
