I have five of em. an I don't know what ur talkin bout I tested them in calm water an in the sweepin outgoin current of the river. It didnot come out of the water.It is one of the best swimmin darters Iv'e thrown.they could cast alittle better but thats a even tradeoff.I'm not sure there is a harder lure to mass produce than a darter.I make my own they are the hardest lure to get right,tough to make a good caster that swims good.I have a bunch o gibbs 3 oz darters I screwed around with they weighed about 2.7,2.8 they cast for crap put a shot of lead in em an the cast like a rocket. an swimm better.now I just gotta rewire em One fish will nock the plug outa wack the way the wire comes through the top of them things lots o work for 17.dollars. give me the tatto's any time.Not sure movin the hook foward or makin the front lip longer makes them stay in the water better.Maybe the angle of the lip. like the addage goes up is down an down is up.Or somethin like that.darters are bout balance the constant battle of lip against body.I guess I got lucky as all mine swam good.Man I wish I knew what that finish is.
