My brain hurts, glad I'm playing with pencils now.
Getting them to swim the way you want in slow current on a dead slow retrieve was my goal when I first started messing with Danny plugs. But then how many of the places you fish have no current? My plugs were going way too fast in current and not fishing the way I wanted, so then I started messing around with different shapes, ways to slow them down, etc.
I always thought the depth a plug would go was controlled by the combination of the bouyancy of the wood, the angle or plane of the lip and the speed of the current you are fishing.
The more horizontal the plane of the lip the deeper it can dig. I make some slim dannies with a near horizontal lip that swim beautifully up on top in calm water, but in one spot I fish them they actually will go down and bounce the bottom.
