hay thanks salty  in other words dont cut into the the swimmer to deep in the lip slot..........just sand back on the lip.........maybe an 1/8..........correct........im trying to get better detail around the lip slot and filling the belly hole in nice and smooth........but now is see your right  by cutting back on the lip it will tighten up that void...............thanks man......ill post the finished product when done........say i just got done reading about Frank F the banana plug guy....he was one hell of a fisherman.......seems he was fishing montalk when a pod of bunker came threw with bass on them and he couldnt hook up on any fish........so he designed a plug that looked like a bunker and called it the banana......you tube also has a video of one of his old time friends telling the fishing stories............................you-da-man!
