The face shape looks good to me. Maybe a little more flat under the line tie to the chin if they seem sluggish, but likely they'll be fine.

I think you'll do better with the line tie horizontal. As Mr Pogie mentioned, tweaking the line tie up or down often improves the action.

The weight distribution also is crucial in getting them to swim, and is hard to predict for any given body shape beforehand. Some shapes do best a little tail down, some do better near level.

Very gratifying plug to build and fish when you hit it right.

Nice job.
