Hmmmmmm........back to the drawing board. Swam the thing, acts like a jointed needle fish with a little more veer when jerked. I wanted something more vigorous, but the shape of the nose causes the plug to porpise when worked on top. Once in a while I can get a sinuous walk the dog action that looks deadly, but not easily or consistently enough to be practical. I'm thinking a little slope to the forehead and some chin weight might be better. We'll see.

i don`t make plugs
George
would a front end low keel weight work with another weight low just at the beginning of the second half? this is a guess at best.

Thanks, but there is a big difference between a good looking plug and one that works...............and an even bigger gap, of course, between one that works and one that works better than what is already available. But it's fun trying. Also, I agree with your weighting ideas. I don't know about the availability of the zaragossa, I don't think they ever caught on. Thanks again for your interest.
