that slope looks better
nice start
now that mouth cut, the bottom cut needs to be 45 degrees, you'll find that angle will be your best start.
try it in birch if you can

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I just go by how other darters work and that beak has a lot to do with the water flow as the plug sways and goes through the water.
darter hell is a time consuming trial and error type of plug building, sometimes you nail it, and other times the plug looks exactly the same and it's a dud.
good luck
there is lots of info on the forum about darters
