OK.....some seem to not want to " dig in "....tried bending the lip..it helped some......some want to " roll " ...I have weighted the chin only on some..tried moving it to the back on some....one of the "problems" is that I feel as though I am guessing...almost like I don't understand " how " they work......I want them to have a tight wiggle...that is what I am trying to get anyway.

I'm going to try the merry plug thread....that looks helpful.

Thanks for the help as always......feel like I owe all of you a plug..couldn't have gotten this far without ya's!!

two thoughts

I'm very new at this too but found two major reasons some of my stuff swam like a stick..

1) too much weight

2) lip placed too high on the body..

I might be small.... but I'm slow.
