Any suggestions on how much weight to throw in the back end I figured the belly weight may give it some ballast up front even if I go lighter on it.

yea like i said i very rarely do i use a belly weight but salty has the tail weights about 1/4" and about 1" long plus whats cool about them is the tail gromitt fits into the hole.......now i drill a 1/4" hole into the tail of the plug.... deeper then the tail weight lenth this way i can jam it in towards the middle of the plug if i want to..... this makes the plug throw like a bullet........there aint nothing worse than tossin a nice looking plug out to the bar and have it spin rather then shoot out like a rocket...........
good luck surfstix

I wouldn't go any more than the 1/4x1 weight it might start sinking like a stone...

which is not necessarily a bad thing-sometimes some of my best poppers are one's that do sink and you keep them on top by working them..like the seagar popper.
