Tested today!
Took the Nike's out today to test, Jr's swim great as do the big ones, but they need just a little tug to get them to bite in.
I'm happy, make some more after fishing season (if it get's here)

I will put up some pics later. I added weight and re tested them all but one worked so I will let them dry then seal paint and epoxy. I decided to take on lipped swimmers of all kinds (Bottles, and datetrs too) when I ran out of metal lips. as a newer builder I was alittle intimidated by the failure rate but figuring out how to get them to swim correctly is a fun challenge.

More taper and thinner in the tail section, leave the small belly weight about 1/3 forward of the tail and add 1/4 x 3/4 tail weight. This plugs pivots from the tail!! Finicky plug but if you use Paul's (ProfM) drawing http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...710-post8.html it will swim "Perfect" |

I did use his drawings I forgot to mention they have tail weights. 3/8 x 1 The larger ones I did on my own after a sucessful test of the smaller ones. those were the ones I had to play with. I also tweaked the angle of the lip a little.

3/8 x1 tail weight is to much, half that amount should work.

Finished Pics are in fall plugs thread I just started
I put less weight in the tails. I still have to put hooks on them and test. They all worked before I painted them so I have high hopes.

Roughly 7/8 to 15/16. When you cut the angle leave it a little longer and sand it to the final length, kind of sneaking up on it.

Can I ask for one more measurement, please. What is the distance between the fattest part of the body and end of the tail.
