My original swam like crap too... I ended up usuing around 6 grams of weight for the tail( as i recall with WRC).. if you notice.. the original uses 5/0 hooks.. I believe they did that to get the nose down.. the tail weight was also used as a means to get it to cast "way out" as they put it in the book... if i used the 5/0 I didnt need any chin weight.. with 4/0 they wanted to flip over.. predictable when you look at the shape of the plug... chin weighting and no tail weight would probaly make a better swimmer.. but for now, i want to try and make the original theme work.. after i fish it this summer, I'll make the needed adjsutments to suit my situation..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
