I may have to agree with Lawrence on this one if it is used on a thin plug like a needle but if that technique was used on a larger dia. plug like a swimmer or larger I think it may have some merit. My 3 cents.
"A beach is a place where a man can feel he's the only soul in the world that's real"
Just speculating here because all this hurts my head. Wouldn't a weight lower than the center of the plug tend to lessen or eliminate roll? Like a sailboat's keel?
