I do not believe there is a drastic difference in the slope of the head as far as how it relates to the "action" of the plug Rich! Just my .02 cents. The weighting in conjunction with the slope of the head be it "Pikie Style" or a straight angle cut will have more to do with how the plug swims!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

HMMMM....I'm going to have to dig deep in the Basic Shed. Deep down on a lower shelf there is a Plano Box with some Big Fish Howdy's, a tore up in the best way burnt orange Big Fish Needle and a few more very old goodies!!!!!!
