Deep swimmer, I hope....

Been pecking away at this all summer.
Mahogany, 6" long body, split shot distributed along along the belly.

PArt of the adventure with these right now is that I still don't know enough about them to be able to predict (plan) the outcome. This might end up as a Christmas decoration or it might be killer...

Saturday it gets a dunking...

Nice looking crank. How deep you want it to swim? I've done some cranks for freshwater stripers that will dive 8-10 feet. One shot of lead in the belly at the thickest point (top to bottom) a larger lip than what you have and the lip comes straight out of the front with less angle than on yours. Multiple ways to do it.
