Morning guys,

Thought I would get things started this morning...I know I posted this last night, but I'm trying to get the most out of the Lucky 13 design made for larger predator fish.
6.25 inches, 1 3/8" diameter, plan on through wire with treble @ 2.5" back from front of lower lip. Dressed tail hook. Top lip set back a little from lower lip and I cupped the mouth a little

I would like it to chug a little, WTD a little (even if its under the surface)and dig a little...I know tall order any suggestions?
If I use a center line tie, I should be able to tune it up or down to change the action? Also thinking of weighting it between the belly hook and tail hook. I'm thinking If I can get it to sit in the water like a spook (tail down) it may be able to chug/pop and if you reel faster the lower lip will dig and get it to dive a littl/
First experience with this type of build...I realize may not be able to get everything, but the original Luck 13 was very productive lure for bass and such.
I hope the building season is going well for everyone,
Best MS
