On the third picture, #2 and #4 (can't see hook as well on #4) you need to move those belly hooks further forward. You'll get better action that way. That shape is my favorite swimmer, and with the belly hooks in the position I have them it's a pisser swimming plug.

Nice looking stuff...now send me one

#2 & #4

When I tested those 2 they sat arse down. I kept adding weight in front a little at a time until they stayed horizontal. They worked great after that.I'm building another batch now with the hook foward about 3/4".

On the second one the best spot will be around the front area of the big dot...on the fourth one I think you'll find it's best around the rear silver part of the eye. You'll like the action on them.
