Look good. I am curious on what kind of action you get with that line tie down there. I have found the ones I have swam made like that to be more of a swimmer than a darter.

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery

Gave it a swim today in some current, for winging it on this one I was somewhat happy. It did not roll over, dug in good and swims about 2-3 ft. some darting action but also a little too much wiggle. I did not weight it before test but I think it needs weight aft of the balance point. Added 1/2 oz. and will try again tomorrow. That's 5.5 oz. with the weight added.
