It swims pretty well............actually, too well........it has more action than I like in a swimmer. Tried to slow it with a heavy tail hook, but that brings the nose too high and it looses its bite. Maybe that's why they cupped the face. I'll probably upsize the belly trebles and put a tail on it (maybe with a little weight back there as well).
Dave, regarding the pencils, I don't think they are anything special. They're just an upsized version of a throw away (single hook) bluefish plug I made by the dozens when I was much younger. They're easy to work, with a lot of splash and short zigags, but for bass I find the slower gliding action of a 2 1/2 oz Gibbs very hard to beat (I think the Gibbs is one of the three best bass plugs ever built).
