I'm not a knowledgeable metal lip swimmer guy, but with the proliferation of options out there I've branched out from the atom40 and augmented my collection with a sprinkling of swimmers from some of the custom plugbuilders out there.

I noticed that some of these plugs really roll in the water right out of the package, so it must be an action that is built into the plug on purpose, but it looks a bit unnatural to my eyes, Maybe a side to side movement looks more like what I'm used to. So tell me, what is the story with the roll, is it desirable, or should I be breaking out the pliers and tuning those plugs ASAP?
