Hell, Tony, it looks right on to me. How much weight did you put in it? I think I used 14-15 grams 3.75" back. Will roll horribly, but swim at as slow a retrieve as you can muster. On most I bend the line tie down, sometimes as much as I can. The low lip, which makes it so unstable, seems also will pull it down, the low line tie lifts it up. I used 3/0 cut VMCs. The plug floats low. Tug short and fast and if it does a barrell roll you've got it right. Hard plug to fish when you can see it and you're searching..........you will start retrieveing too fast. But if you know there are fish around and can force yourself to really creep it....they'll crush it......day or night.

On the ones I got going right now, I lifted the line slot a fraction above midline (the originals were on the midline) trying to get a plug that can be worked a little faster before it rolls out. Haven't tested them yet.
