George,I can concur your small 5" swims and catches. Line tie is the key to a darter for depth and action. The 6" Pitchney swims remarkable with a wide sliding motion. On slow current t I use a line tie further back. Sloooow cranking Keeps it shallow and zig zagging. Outflows and rips the front line tie allows the action to decrease and makes dead sticking productive. That's how I use your white 5" with success. So far no fish has claimed it for their own.!
