Paul Just got to say - thanks !
I made similar conrads last year ,will try to tweak with your help .

Quick question I noticed fouling with 2 belly hooks
Frank mentioned marry [same issue?]
I used just front and tail hook seemed to swim and catch well
Whats the concensus using less hooks ?

I feel less hooks changes the dynamic balance of plugs, even when the fixed balance point remains the same. I'm not sure how important this is, but I think plugs swim differently with an action centered further forward and less around the belly. How that would effect a conrad, I'm unsure. For what it is worth, I've fished the jr conrad many times without ever having a hook fouling issue....although I throw them primarily on conventional tackle (which means less tumble).

Paul on the peanut conrad if I place the weight at 1.440" it doesn't look like the drawing, the drawing has the weight more towards the rear hook. Would the weight be at 2.440"? ...I notice on the larger conrads the weight is more towards the rear hook,only reason I ask. Thanks
