I agree. I would move the belly hook up about half way between the nose and where you have it. Stripers hit the head so you want something there for them to stick on when they hit Might be just the photo, but it seems the widest part of the middle one is further back than the halfway point. On most dannys the center of the plug is the thickest point. This is also where you'll stick a chuck of lead. Like NIB said, if they are swimming like you want them, go with it. The most important thing is what the striped ones think of them
