I'm going to try this with an existing needle made from cherry. It wakes now because the tail sinks first. I'll experiment by adding weight to the belly and decreasing it in the tail using the method you recommended -- see if I can lighten it overall so it sinks slower.

Yep, it already wobbles on the cast, this won't help, but if I can get it to glide (even walk) while being close to neutrel with this "fish shaped" needle, I'll be happy with it.

Thanks for the feedback.
