BT, I also did some Pichney senior slopeheads out of birch. 7.25". modified A-40 lip. Bent on a 90degree w/eye bent up this sucker dives out of site. My proto dove to the bottom snag something and I broke it off. glad I wrote down the specs!LOL. I did a few with white pine. Looking at 14-18grams in belly. One belly weight in the birch 8 grams. The birch weight with the 8 dives DEEP. I tried more weight but I didn't want a sinker. swam nice. Maybe a troller for boat fishing.
