Got out and test swam the A-40 and Jr. today. Swims to my liking with just the tailweight, not too wild, but a nice wiggle at all speeds. Swims just below to about a foot. I'll leave it be and finish it up. Didn't like the look of the Jr. so I made another from AYC. 6", 1.20" dia. tapered to .600 at the tail, also tailweighted and 1- 3/0 hook. I used a NJT Danny 3 lip and shaped the front to an Atom style. Really lucked out on this one, it swam perfect and casts great! Going to make 3 or 4 more. So it was a good day, did test a few others that had been laying around..1 turd and a few so so's.
