Most pencils I make are pseudo-spooks, as I like to walk-the-dog if I can. For a true "thrashing" pencil (back-and-forth slapping with very slow retrieve) is it better to have the hip closer to the end of the lure?

Specifically, I'm looking to build a smallish pencil around the size of the 1 oz gibbs which thrashes easily, and I'd love to hear your feedback on lure shapes.

Thank you,

Eric
