Funny, because I have known them to contain a tailweight. Also, the originals had huge hooks which I THINK served to stabilize the roll. Someone asked me to reweight a few commercially made surfsters, saying that they didn;t cast properly and were prone to rolling out on the retrieve. I put a 00 buck shot a touch behind center and added 5/16 tailweight from M&D, the thing swam much tighter and cast a lot better--the guy was happy with the result--but I have never swam an original so, I don't know.
