Hey guys, A while back, I converted my Silent Killer to a Slide Swimmer. It wasn't easy, and i'd say that it is far from perfect, but she swims now. After removing the skin, I added a pounded out weight to the front weight slot (Just enough to get a nose down sink). After that, I added about a half of an egg sinker (haha so scientific) to the slot that housed the bill. It is slightly heavier than your regular Slide Swimmer and swim is not "as" fluid, but it works. Here is my first outings with her.

Wow thanks for the info! Just to be clear, you are removing all the weights in the body and adding tungsten putty?

Thanks for the tips guys. Still working on it. Planning on shaving some weight off the middle weight. But still curious to hear if anyone has been successful on a new style conversion? If so, any tips on getting the right swim?

Hey guys, back here again. I have converted my new style Silent Killer to a SS and am in the works of tuning it. That said, I notice its weighted different than my other SS. The middle body weight seems to be larger, thus having the center of mass in the middle of the bait (not like my SS which is nose down). I cant seem to remove the weights either since they are glued in super well or are even part of the mold?? I've weighted the front to compensate for the heavy middle weight (to get a nose down fall), but feel i've made the bait much heavier. Anyone run into this problem? If so, how do you fix/tune a new style convert? Thanks for any help this gets!

Thanks for all the great info!

Ya I don't mind ripping off the lip, but i'm concerned about the belly weight. I see them for the 175, but not for the 250 (the one I need haha). Could tungsten putty work?

I've seen the videos and have read up on how to do it, but i'm wondering if it is worth it? Also, where do I get the belly weights from; or do I have to make them?
