Fished them this weekend.
The yellow red sits higher in the water than the white one. Both require a medium fast retrieve to get nice action, but they both have a snake like action once they are moving. The white one tracks best about a foot deep, but does leave a decent wake while on top and its tail is higher than the head.
The yellow one sits more evenly but overall a bit higher. While it does take a bit to get it moving, a good tug from a still position gets it to act like a darter and it darts a couple of feet (its does like to start left plugnchug) one way then the other (with a second tug) then it wiggles real nice like a snake. Neither one seems to have much discernable roll.
when there are some big waves coming right toward me, both of them kind of tumble about unless I'm really cranking . They do better in moving water across or against the current, or in small waves.
Overall I'm reasonably satisfied with the outcome, and have a pretty good idea of how and where I will fish these particular plugs, but I'm wondering what I can do to get a better action on them in bigger water. I do have a couple of bodies that I turned up that have a shorter face. Do you think that will do it. Should I change the weight location? Any comments/input is appreciated. Thanks.
