Update

I spread the hooks a bit and gave it another run this am. I put the 3/0 hooks on and tried it out. The plug now dives a bit deeper and needs a little more retrieve speed to get it going, but it should be good with spinning gear.

The plug now weighs 2.5 oz with the bigger hooks. I'm going to try the plug with a lefty 2 high slot lip and compare it to the pikie 2 that's in there now. I might also try the belly weight to see what happens. Thank god for wood filler.....stay tuned...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
