Tagger,
I have not hydro-oriented a plug yet. I have relied on the belly weight and/or hooks to provide the ballast. Curious as to how subtle or vibrant is the general effect of orienting the body. I realize it will vary from one body to the next, since wood is not uniform in density (which I suppose is a good reason for hydro-orientation). Does the body just flip over to the "right" oreintation or is is a slower roll?
Also, it looks like you shaved the head on that plug after orienting it. Does that affect the natural orientation? Some of the lipless swimmers have a lot of wood cut/shaved off the face. I think this would have some impact on how it sits naturally.
I am going to work on some lipless swimmers this off season. I tracked down a couple of your predators and some orginal magna strikes and I have a nike style proto that I did, So I'm going to be playing around some.
