Use AYC, turn to 1". The front half is 4 1/2 ", the rear 4". The tail taper starts about 3" from the tail. The front hook is 1 3/4" back from the nose, the rear hook 1 3/8" from the joint. I use a Lefty 2 mid slot lip (NJ tackle). I cut the plug in half before drilling to be sure the wire is centered in the joint.
To weight the plug, I use three through wire weights. In the front of the tail section there is a 1" x 7/32" weight (cc tackle) that I've drilled out a bit to accomodate the doubled wire loop (it weighs 4.2 grams).
In the back of the front section I use a 5/16x 1" weight (9 grams), and in the nose I use a similar 5/16 x 1" weight that I cut in 1/2 (3.6 grams it ends up weighing) at an angle then enlarge the hole to accomodate the doubled tail of the nose loop.
