More Jointed Swimmers

Ive been messing with these for a little while. it seems the less of a angle they swim better to an extent.

this one has a plastic diving lip. crank bait style




this one swims the best. 45 degree cut.





this one doesnt swim so good 60 degree cut.

Freshwater or saltwater?
That first one looks good
If you are unhappy with the action, try putting your line tie a little below center on the first one (and maybe try above center on the slant face).

The last likely wants to roll. Maybe try a chin weight and a higher line tie?
