Well, George I messed with the weighting and I was able to remove 2 ounces of lead and after some tweaking I have what I now believe may be a killer in deep water. Hard to tell how deep she goes but I'd venture to guess at least 10 feet. It's a real thumper, but the wiggle is relativley tight. I had to make special belly weights to get the right ammount of weight in the right places.
It now floats, but sits mostly submerged, 
130 days (or so) 'til I can try it!  |

Still not quite right. Soft maple, no weight, 2.5oz unrigged (.3oz more than they should weigh) float deep, think they'll swim OK.

Yup....Jr's. Hey, Eddy, your white one got a bigger chin hook? Interesting. Somebody who knew plugs owned that one (check out the eye). Is it weighted or not? (For Christ's sake don't cut it if you can't tell).

On a Pichney you can see the belly weight hole if it is in there, if not yours is probably maple. 2.5 -2.6 rigged is what the pine ones weigh as well. Not sure why mine are too heavy. Too much sealer, epoxy, too thick a lip? To top it off, my weighted pine ones are too light (2oz unrigged)...go figure. |

no visible belly weight .. yes its a Pichney .. Funny,, the hooks bouncing off the wood ,,the sound is very resonant.. sounds like hard wood . Maybe your picking up weight soaking in that crude oil .. My cpes is light and wispy ..
