Looking good. I wreck them during the process all the time.

Nice job.

Only recommendation I have is to move the belly hooks forward.

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

Very nice.
I'm going to get busy on a bunch myself this winter. I didn't do too much last year, just too busy.
But a good job, my friend.

Be encouraging, not discouraging

Hook placement is kinda weird on the swimmer.
Most single hook plugs have the hook more towards the head.

It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

What Nib said ... awesome olive swimmer .. Hook set way back like a spook ... Hook would be better probably just behind eye .. Or move that one back a little and add another just behind eye for 2 belly hooks ... Things to look out for on swimmer belly hooks,, You don't want the belly hook so far forward it keeps hooking tie line ... But just back enough so it can't .. If your doing double belly hooks You don't want hooks locking up with each other on the cast .. Or rear hook locking up with a tail hook ..

1.5 inches from the front is a good starting point for ur hook hole..
3 1/8 from there 3/0 hooks won't tangle as long as ur swivels don't hang to low.
U might have to do some off set drilling for the front swivel for this on some designs..Details..U might have some basics.. Making good plugs is all in the details..
