First lathe plug attempt, need insight

Well, I am aiming for the Pocket Rocket as my first lure to make. Only made 2 so far (getting the hang of the tools), the first was way too small but this one hopefully shows some promise.

The Specs are 3.5" long, 2.75 " around (the center of the body), a little over 1" around the nose.

Is this worth trying to go all the way with or let it go to the firewood pile?

What do you guys think needs improvement as far as the lure design? I kinda winged it honestly, and it is about 1/4" shorter than what I wanted it to be. The reason I wanted a nose was because it looked like a submarine.

My apologies for the dark photo.

Brutal honesty is welcome! Going back out at it tomorrow!
