I suspect I can get it deeper with a few modifications to the line tie, lip angle, and losing the tail hook. They do seem to cast very well, I think significantly better than a big danny, but I didn't throw them on a full size rod which is more likely to result in tumble. They also have an interesting swerve and roll when you yank them that looks a lot like a bunker's movement. All in all, I came away impressed with Mr Musso's skill as a plug builder.
