They look good as is, may want to try one with the joint edges beveled. More swing and less chance of chipping the finish. If you can get away without the rear body hook, go for it. Bass hit the head, blues hit the tail, who hits the middle anyway?

Sup Dog, You could cut the swash and just have bucktail
on that hook that will give the back section less weight.

Surfcasting Full Throttle

Don't judge me Monkey
