I have a mahogany Bluestreak that is a full 1 oz. heavier than another one I have which is maybe Pine. Neither of them have belly wgts and both have tail wgts.

Also notice how far forward the front hook is on the Bluestreak compared to Atom. The rear hooks are the same distance on both. Some like to make the bluestreak just for that reason, figuring on hook tangle. I am not too sure it is a major problem
slick pic looks good there.
