I find the Jr size ones bite better than the Sr, especially in current.

I made a bunch of Sr. sized ones and thought they sucked until I listened to Numby's explanation on how to use them. They're not diving plugs, they're "descending" plugs that need some patience to work properly. A long cast or free spooling in current helps attain the maximum depth as the further away from you they get, the deeper you can get them to descend.
