Cowboys

I used one 8 gram belly weight. The Bm version 2007 seems to have 1 weight in the bellyand eyes. I couldn't see any other weight impressions suggesting an additional weight.

There is a second weight in there. The first is centered between the belly hooks, the second is 3/4" on center behind it. The lip you used may also be an issue. You would have to cut it yourself. There is not a commerically available lip that is identical to the one in a cowboy.

I used to NJ Tackle A-40 lip, if that helps. I had to adjust weighting, but Damn it looks good in the water.

Don't get too hung up on your Cowboy being exactly like the BM. If it swims good and does what YOU want and the fish like it, that is what really matters

On my Jr's I used a lefty-2 high slot (again NJT)

Mess around with yours, that's the fun of it.

I made 2 different versions of the Cowboy. One is subsurface, like the orig. The other is a surface swimmer, with allot of @ss shakin'

My Jr's I went w/3... surface, sub-surface, and deep diving.

All swim great but for different conditions/areas.
