Rocketman, Unfortunately its not my fist plug.. just my first swimmer.. I've been making poppers and other things that dont have metal lips.
Its painted with createx airbrush paints and clear-coated with envirotex.

I do some that are similar to that one. A small slug of lead and they have a killer action on top. Not so good subsurface. If it does not have the subsurface action you are after, reduce the lead and use it on top.

Toonoc, generous me gave all the glass ones away

Jig Man- I test swam it today and it swam great!!! I'm very happy
It swam about a foot under and had a tight wiggle to it. that long tail gave it an almost eel like wiggle. Now I gotta make 40 more
