MS....love your work! Thanks to Johnny for the kind words. My "Blitzseeker" has a length of 4.25 inches and weighs 2 oz. It is tail weighted and it also has a "00" shot towards the chin! It sits in the water as many pencils do at a bit more than a 45 degree angle. When you start to retreive it and pop the rod tip a bit it walks the dog like its nobody's business and the action drives the fish wild! As your spook size is a bit larger than mine I suggest playing with your weight combination both tail and belly weight and also try 3/0 hooks! I can better answer any questions when I get home and have my notes in front of me. Hope I helped a little?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Everyone's desire in regards to a spooks action also varies a bit, how it sits in the water, how it glides or walks etc. So you need to have an idea of what you are looking for and work towards that by experimenting a little...make a few test plugs weighted differently and keep notes on how they react individually. Then make your changes.
