It look like its too much lip for that plug the face is kinda deep an it pushes alot of water.Take it out an sacrifice it to the gods.hamer the top bend flat an bend it bout an 1/8 inch down to make the face shallower.then grind a good 1/8 off the front.Take all the lead out an try it like that.If u got it weighed in the middle it should take 1/8 oz no problem.Then take it to the water an tune it like PA says an make notes when u get it how u like it.or u won't remember.I like to shave the head of the plug just a little this will help flatten it out some also.U may want to try a little weight in the nose to keep the head down.I find it more neccesrry on one hook jobs like that.
