That i will do in the band saw much like your fixture. I just pray they swim.

I turned 12 of those small Gibbs ones we worked on last night, 6 out of maple, 6 out of birch, the maple are .25 ounces or so heavier... I rigged half of each body and floated them in a bucket.. I like the balance,unfortunatly I have no where to swim them unless I take them to the beach.... and that is a hard way to check the action this time of year...I'm still considering moving the hook foreward... but the man that originaly made that plug forgot more than I will ever know...
yours will swim... the biggest thing with the angles is how much of each angle you want to over lap the prior one... 1/8" change higher or lower on the slope changes the depth they want to swim and the amount they dart.. as long as the balance is good you'll be fine..the rest is symantrics..
