Your funny Lu..
So I gave it a test swim Geo.It swims well in a fast retrieve as well as real slow.A nice tight swagger..I did not mark the top to tell me of the roll as I did not care about that.I plan on painting it a light yellow top to a white belly.With some NIB blending so i don't think it will be too flashy..It's not a surface swimmer,just under the surface..Especially at a crawl,it digs a little deeper with a increased speed.I think if i bend the lip up and the line tie down it will not boil out...
When pulled it along wit the rod though..I popped out.Set up like you had mentioned..
I noticed the one in the pic in the new thread.It looks like the lip cut is slightly above center Like you noted how did you like it..
What do your's weigh finished with hooks..The one tested was 2.7 I will easily add a .5 to that sealed and top coated.That could be alot.Makes me think I have to check the belly weight.Either that or I have to dump the regular standard yellow pine to go with a epoxy sealed cedar..I think my model is a hair thinner than yours.It certainly looks thinner than the one in the pic.

nike is very cool and I LOVE the predator, that looks like a tricky one to get to swim right?
