Look better than they swim

Here's a few I finished up the other night. When I made the prototype and swam them, I was pretty impressed. Tweaked a couple things and turned a handful. Now that their finished I'm not that impressed (I am getting better with the airbrush, however).

The proto was not painted, so I guess I could not see the roll. Now that their painted, the roll is very obvious. Sits nice in the water and does have good action, just too much roll.

They are all 3.5 inches. I made some bigger dannies, 6" or so and they swam great. Trying to figure out why these roll so much. Things I thought of:

Lip--used a small Lefty lip (middle slot). The only reason I used it is because it's the smallest width lip I had. Is there a reason these lips would not work?
Body shape? Weighting (shot of lead mid body)? Any ideas? Trying to keep the profile a little smaller...thinkin freshwater.

They are pretty though...
