Cowboy Jr

How long is a Cowboy Jr?
The one I tried I center weighted and now I think I might add a little tail weight.
Anyone know more about these?
Thanks

5 3/4" plus the lip. weight goes more towards the front from center. A tail weight will keep the nose up more and not allow the plug to do what they are designed to do. These are subsurface swimmers that can be made to really get down there. I like them and fish them.

Thanks, thats what I had done. I am going to try a bigger lip and see what that does. It goes down now but not as much as a slopehead, do't know if it should though.
