Thanks Steve. They do float up high, the pine higher than the ayc obviously because it is a heavier wood. When trolled, the original ones, how deep do the swim, ballpark. P.

Paul,
So did u use the SS screws,or u decided against them? I thought they looked pretty good. The blind Pins or Rivets are nice ,but u really cant take them back out if u needed to. From a manufacturing standpoint the pins are easier cause Im sure they just whacked them in rather than rotating them which can become more tedious I guess.

I test swam my small goo goo with it center drilled. I was amazed at the action.....awesome. Nice wobble with a good wiggle. Very pleasantly surprised with the action. I won't change a thing. Swam 3 to 4 feet deep (could have been deeper I couldn't tell). Hope that helps. I will not be altering anything...happy with the results. Very happy with the surfsters I tested as well.....sick action. I weighted the goo goo between the middle hook and the head.....great action. Hope this helps.

Yes I used them . They worked perfect. I am thru wiring them and not using screw eyes.
Thanks for the weighting info mugz. I will try one weighted in front of the front hook and one weighted in the middle. I am just about finished as I did some work last nite.
