Testing weight placement and action.  All about 3" with aluminum lips.  Top one has 1 size 7 split shot, middle has 1 size 5, and bottom has 2 size 7.

Next is test the effects of the weight locations from top to bottom and front to back or distribution throughout different locations  

Another is different densities/buoyancy of material 

The experimenting never ends lol

Right!  There's so many things to tweak.  These are all made from basswood scraps I picked up from the school shop after students made CO2 racecars.  I'll make some from redwood once I get the design close and see how that compares.  I'm really happy with this profile, now I just need to work out the details.

Of these 3 the top one had the best action, the bottom one next, and the middle one was the most reduced.  I messed up the lip on the middle one though, so that's a factor.
