second try...

First added the bely weight and tried swimming the plug. Better, but still sensitive and still rolled over. moved the screw to the upper slot and most of the problems went away. Still will roll over when I sweep the rod hard or reel hard. Either add one more small weight under the nose or try a small lip.

I'm finding myself challenged by that lower slot. It's there for a reason and I have to figure it out. I went back and looked at those old classics like the Blue Streak and Atom, etc. They all use that equivalent of the lower slot.... There's still a balance issue I'm missing when trying to use the lower slot.
