Yup there is. Some of them are set up high and the Point judes have a cupped lower lip almost like an upside down popper.The Tattoos are like some of the older mussos before the larger one was done. I was looking at them a bit ago and there does seem to be a difference in the type of wood. i'm guessing at that because there is a noticable weight difference in some of them.The only tinkering that I've done to them ever was a larger front hook to angle them deeper and a tied tail hook.There is more problems with the through wired ones than the screw eye one. The older 3 hook Gibbs never seemed to have probs but the 2 hook ones do.The use of swivel snaps sure does change the way they work too.One I looked at yesterday had a misplace weigh in it too. Angled way off center.
