Good luck. Before you do any of that you should turn the body and bring some weights down to the areas you fish and screw them into the body at different spots this will help you rather than bling placing weights into a perfrectly good body.

If you don't have that as an option. Behind 1st hook hole, before and after first hook hole, under chin and dead center of the plug are starting points. See how they work and tweak from there.

Plug design is the most rewarding aspect of plug building don't destroy it by looking for an instant homerun answer. Not saying that is what you are doing but I see it all to often.

Merry Christmas.
