4 eyed swimmer...
I've been wondering about this configuration for a while. No weights in it right now. 9" long body, weighs 2.25 ounces. Has a small NJT Lefty lip on it at the moment. I'd like it to swim about 1 - 2 feet below the surface.

Great! 
Now, in the frame of the "Fish after Fish" theory... did you try the little guy in front of the big guy? Like the big guy was trying to get a meal ... Just a thought.... |

Just came back from test swim.... First cast got dive bombed by three gulls... No hook ups however :-) Swims a bit arse down in the rear small plug. Will take off trailing treble hook and see if that balances it out. Or I add a bit of lead under the nose of the small plug. Beautiful snakey motion to it!

second swim...
Got dive bombed again... :-) Tail swims aligned with the front when it doesn't have the trailing hook. I think I'll do a tail on some very light wire so it looks finished. Tends to swim right on the surface or about 6" below. Next one will be weighted just a bit.

Little guy in front...
Karl, I'm going to try one like that, too. Not sure how well it might "tow" the bigger one. Probably cast like a rocket tho....

I used a couple pieces of poplar. Maybe cedar for the back? Or leave a bit more wood in the tail to help it float?
