Sunday morning post?

I tried adding a small tail weight to one (Hydro'd after epoxying in the weight) and had better results than any belly weighted version but still went unweighted.

Frank you did this on an ayc darter but still deviced to go without the weight? What about the weighted darter made you give up on the plug?

The tail on the darters I made were really tapered so while they swam fine once the plug started going they seemed to hang up right when I started to retrieve them. I'm sure if the tail was bit thicker it would work but really they cast fine without any lead.

If you're using maple and thicker profile like you have a above I'd go without weight.
