I found the same thing on the donny pine jr too.(hand poured belly weights, not glued in)

My hook positions are the same as yours, no tail hook, but I might insert 6 grams of lead(what the trebles I'm using weigh) into the tail to help it fly.

What type of lip are you using?

Mike, before you "dissect" any more plugs check with me, I can probably save you the sin.

Will do, you'd disown me if you saw some of the plug building sins going on in my basement right now. I think its called learning by your own mistakes..

Don't get me wrong, I haven't succumbed to any bodily injuries, but some of my classic plugs are, shall we say, two piece...

Hopefully some good will come from it....if not, there always my fall back bait....
