Darters are very weight sensitive, Paul. If you are trying to make a true copy you need to get the weight close. 2.3 will run 2.6 wired and finished, and 3.0 with 3/0 hooks. I can't speak for what happens if you go too light, but I've got about 20 finished bodies that ended up 2.6-2.7 and they don't make functional plugs, even rigged with 2/0s (with 3/0's they sink tail first).
Remember, the originals were hard maple (I believe). If you use soft maple you will be light unless the sealer adds weight.
