Mr. Sandman, I believe you hit it. the weight is centered by EYE. an I now believe I might of even NOT drilled it deep enought. throwing it OFF-CENTER,BUT like TAGGER SAID--->Those are your slow fishers.. good action at a crawl .. I will have to second that w/this plug it works good in the SURF an SUDZ but in flat water he's out of control. thank you for the info. I should have ( hydro orientation ) the wood BUT as I said this was 2 years ago when I just went NUTS an tried building everything,an never thought it threw, now I still building everything BUT w/ SOME THOUGHT BEFOR. Im still out of control when it comes to building plugs it's fishing time an Im still shaping, sanding, sealing, priming, painting, just cant seem to stop.
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN
