As Rock said they are tailweighted, how much??? Would be nice to have a beater to cut apart but remember the orig. did not swim that great so it's going to take some time with weight placement as Rockfish did to get what you want out of it.
Here's a pic of a GRS proto Pike darter that Gary has been fooling with for some time. Had my hands on it this past weekend and I like the idea.
