That profile looks a little tall and not quite wide enough......maybe should have gone a little wider for more boyancy? Just my .02 cents. Let me know how it goes Christian. 
Looks like it might fall on its side like a pancake, know what I mean?  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

link got it. before i test floated it without weights and it sat like a pancake like ya said, but then i added the two little shot and now it sits perfect. plus there will be a2-3/0 treble on the belly acting as a keel.   this thing is in definite need of a test swim. |

That will work. I've made plugs like that and they swim good. Mine are weighted slightly different but the way you did it will work as well. I used small colorado blades on the ones I made. BA

Looks good to me  If the lip does not work out, you could always go with a lexan lip like those used on freshie crankbaits.
