Those Donnys look good. I just did a bunch of sr's myself in pine.(inspired by Numby, of course) Fortunately I did have one original donny sr in my stash to copy. After disecting the plug and pulling out the belly weight I found out the belly weights were hand poured into the plug body and weighed almost exactly 1/2 oz. I found the same thing on the donny pine jr too.(hand poured belly weights, not glued in)

My hook positions are the same as yours, no tail hook, but I might insert 6 grams of lead(what the trebles I'm using weigh) into the tail to help it fly.

What type of lip are you using?

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
