My vote would be horizontal, or nose to tail. Dave

Sorry, I do not have a guaranteed solution for you, but there are plenty of UV guys that should step in here. My thoughts would be a glass divider to shield and/or a ventilating fan to draw away the heat. See what the others think first Dave

I think the heat has expanded the air within the body. Dave

Love this, very poetic Dave

The flattened nose is a good idea. You want a shape that will disturb the water, not simply glide through, I suggest a fatter nose. The 'twitch' action causes a single vortex down one side, causing the side deviation. The next twitch will move in the opposite direction provided not too much time between twitches. As usual, I am talking theoretical, I have never made this type of bait. I tried to resist posting, but alas.... Dave

I too am using ABP. Dave

Everything OK here (Firefox). Dave

Someone at the patent office is not doing their job! Dave

I thought this was sarcasm. an under rated form of humour. But, then I noticed that this was your first post, which makes this a very thoughtful post, getting right to the crux of the problem - Welcome Dave

I have had problems in the past when my 'cookies' and history were over filled, even though other web sites were working perfectly. Do a Google search on 'how to'. I did mine a few weeks ago. After clearing, log out and restart computer. Dave

I am not aware of a first post delay, but it would not surprise me. The site has been plagued for several months with multiple spam from China. You should give it a day or so and try again, if that fails, report back here and I or someone will help you. Dave

As Aulrich points out, tow eye location is very important, and should be a part of your experimentation. Dave

In my early days, I looked hard for a formula for lip length and width, it was the engineer in me. But alas, I failed. A sharp edge on the front face gives a stronger action, not so sure it is enough for you to notice. The thing is that every feature affects lip length; length and width of back, position and angle of lip, position of COG, and any other feature that I fail to mention. I make the lip a tad too big and trim it back until I get what I am looking for. Dave

I abandoned this as a bad idea. Dave

I don't understand their strategy as all it does is annoy people. No one is going to visit their site.
