Rounding the bottom might be the answer if that doesn't work you might want to move the joint farther up. Making a longer tail section and shorter front. If you get that wide part to be the start of the joint it can catch more of the water. Not sure if that will make sense or not Edit- could also try a bill that has an angle of a diving bait and see what happens. The flat bottom might keep it on top still.

Yes they are molded with alumilite. -
They are photo finishes and i think they are around 4 inches nose to tail. -
These are some baits i have been working on let me know what you think.

i started pouring baits can i just put the swivels in my mold? will it get in the swivel and stop the movement?
-
i like it! what are the head and body made out of? -
im surprised that you can get them to swim that well with them being so small! -
where did you get that? i havent seen them on any sites yet, looking to try one or 2 myself. How much are they i havent been able to find them for sale. -
you can add food coloring paste to epoxy to get alot of different colors, i have tried to make a "mold" out of clay so i can get different shapes and it kind of worked but you have to mess up the clay to get it out then wash the clay off
-
it was posted on another forum so i dont think its a secret at least not anymore-http://swim-bait.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=24 looks great! -
if i were you i would use and illustrated one, they work better for me at least.
-
if you can find pvc that is a size that will work you might want to start with that because you don't need to seal it before testing- the the weighting will probably be trial and error so it would be better if you don't need to seal each time you change it. otherwise i would just use some scrap wood
-
Could work- normally they seem to work better if the picture is completely straight to start with. might be able to turn it a little but shouldn;t be a big problem
-
you can epoxy a dowel into the hole then cut it of sand down and seal again- there was a tutorial somewhere called poor mans pointer that used this and is seems to work good for me
-
Just wondering how they are connected to the body? i might be interested once i get making more swimbaits
-
Where do you get the expanded pvc? i have looked at a couple places but no luck. Could it be called something else in the store? -
not sure how your joints are made but if the are the v joint type ones where you would normally have a pin go through two screw eyes or wire circle things you have use ss spinnerbait wire and put it through your hole you drilled and bend part of it over and cut a small slot to put the bend in.

-
if i were you i would take it out and cast it, i have made two different styles of swimbaits and one seemed to swim in the tub but not when casted the other didn't seem to swim but swam great when cast. if its tipping like you say your prolly right and need to add some wieght
