Thanks again fellas for all the input and helpful hints!!! I was able to get the new spook blanks sealed, weighted, and tested them this afternoon. I cut and drilled all the blanks the same figuring I would modify and fine tune with different sized hooks.
I'm interested in your thoughts! I ended up fattening out the profile, lowering the line tie off center a little,moving front hook forward a bit, adding 1/4 oz weight 2/3 back from the front, and tried a number of hook sizes/weight (pretty much everything people recommended)

Three videos of spook action with different hook sizes, first 2/0 , second 3/0 trebles, and third 2/0 4x heavy trebles.

I'm working the spooks pretty fast and hard in the videos, they did well slower and came out of the pause well.






Thanks again, please post tip/improvements.
