1.Go to the top of this forum to the how to.
Look at the merry plugmas thread
2.Copy a plug you have that works well
Change it a little and see what happens

It would help if you explained what they do that you don't like.
Have you tried a lip with a lower wire slot?
Have you tried weighting the plug (chin, belly, or tail)?
Have you tried a narrower lip?
How fast are you retrieving them?

What Style?
What Wood?
What Size?
What Lip(s) have you tried?
Have you varied the ammount of weight?
Are the weights centered?
Is the lip centered?
Even, the tail loop being off-center can throw things off
What do you want the plug to do???

OK.....some seem to not want to " dig in "....tried bending the lip..it helped some......some want to " roll " ...I have weighted the chin only on some..tried moving it to the back on some....one of the "problems" is that I feel as though I am guessing...almost like I don't understand " how " they work......I want them to have a tight wiggle...that is what I am trying to get anyway.
I'm going to try the merry plug thread....that looks helpful.
Thanks for the help as always......feel like I owe all of you a plug..couldn't have gotten this far without ya's!!

two thoughts
I'm very new at this too but found two major reasons some of my stuff swam like a stick..
1) too much weight
2) lip placed too high on the body..
|
I might be small.... but I'm slow.
