SK,
Very nice. I had Slipknot attempt to make a "swimming needlefish" a few years back. What I was looking for was a plug that had the profile and casting characteristics of a needlefish and the swimming motion of a polaris popper. As you may know some polaris poppers can also be used as swimmers - most notably the Super Strike. Bruce made me some but they didn't seem to cast and swim very well but I have caught some fish with them. How do your models cast and swim? Could you taper the tail end slightly thinner. There is a fine line of adding casting weight to the tail and still allowing it to sway back and forth. Thanks for sharing your design.
