The BM weighs 3.5oz. complete. Measured out the same. What wood is The BN . White cedar? My plug weighs w/ hardware 4.4 no hooks. Well it swims PISSA. Suggestions anyone?
It is pine. It has two 8-10 grain weights in the belly. It is a subsurface plug meant for current so assessing roll while wallowing on top is misleading. Is your lip shaped exactly the same? That has more to do with roll than the body. The originals didn't have eyes which (along with a solid color) makes roll much less of an issue.
