Learning from Donny
Knocked off his lineup of big (7.5") swimmers. Top is a Maple (3.8oz) then a Pine 3 oz and the last 3 surface swimmers (also 3 oz) . Each came out .2oz heavier than the original (2.85 oz Pine)....still unsure why. The body shapes are the same. The Maple is unweighted maple, the pine and surface swimmer are weighted pine. The Maple and Pine share the same high slot lip (which it turns out is nearly identical in size/shape to the NJ tackle large Pikie lip) the surface swimmer used a lower slot lip that was reportedly smaller (I don't have an original) so I used a mid slot lefty 2 for 2 plugs (which is what Musso used on his medium swimmers), and a Pikie 2 for the other (reshaped to lower the wire hole). Will swim them Thursday. Expect the Surface swimmers to stay up, the Pine to go medium, and the Maple to go deep.
