Did u try reversing the 2? Opt to have the larger diameter in rear to have increased rear buoyancy.

Sorry I thought you were talking about the swimmer. The line tie on the needlefish is the horizontal loop. (To the left in the picture). I have used it in both directions. The amount of surface area on the plug is so great that it drives it up to wake on top even though it sinks. I think I either have to make the same plug with a thinner diameter or make a slightly shorter needle.
