move the weight back 1/2 inch drop the lip size 1 down and it will work better, nose was down and way to wide for action
other than that its nice, maybe do what i said to the tail. maybe i can get in my shop and turn a body for you.
I really like ya plug, you should try some red wester cedar or white and epoxy seal the plug useing that type of wood, just a thought. I make plugs only for me useing that wood Lab has one of them , Me thinks your style would fit that lighter wood.
by dropping your lip on that lure i would suspect it would run tight.
actually i think moving the weight back then a swim then drop the lip after the test to see.
i swam alot of plugs today, alot of them are in the drink, what ever happend to tweaking lures on fish. dont understand it but im the last guy to give a plug to. or a rod or a reel for that matter cause i will tell it like it is anyway good plug man

Nothing better than testing/tweaking your own plugs. While I'm sure BM's advice is good, the conditions that he fishes are waaaaay different than what you have in your area. Bear that in mind when tweaking the plug.
