Taper the body and tail more. The long flat section of the plug likely wants to steer it straight. Short plugs (like a zara spook) can get away with a level section but as you lengthen it it likely is causing trouble. You want the head of the plug to be light but offer enough water resistance that the momentum of the tail pushes the head to the side and makes the plug veer. More weight, a fatter head, and more taper from the shoulder back all should help. Moving the belly hook forward might also help. It might be adding too much drag for a plug of that length so far back from the head.
