Good Stuff... question, does the thru wire go thru the lips on 1,2, and 3?

No. Those are just epoxied in place. I was thinking about that and once I get the right lip profile, I that's one way to be sure the lip doesn't fall out. Either that or some small screws.

If I can make time, they'll get hooks and a test swim this evening... Otherwise, next week.

swim test

Swam the parrot plugs today... The little one worked great. Got a few swrils behind it by some twinkies... The big one came in in a loose spiral :-( The lip is fairly narrow and pointy form the front. Was thinking I may need to widen it a bit. The plug is alos unwighted. Maybe a touch of weight near the nose? Any thoughts/suggestions anyone???
