I figured I try a rattle trap style plug. Built out of AYC, around 4 1/2 inches long, 1 1/2oz and will sport size 1 trebles when the epoxy dries. Its a prototype but I got carried away as usual and decided to shoot a quickie paint job and smear some epoxy on it. I didn't through wire it (used screw eyes).

I swam the plug this morning. Went down to a little 3ft deep hole at a local creek. Lob casts with my ugly stick freshie rod. I couldn't have asked for more, I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Floats with just the dorsal above the water line at rest. Slow retrieve gets the action going like a rattletrap and makes a really nice V wake. A little faster and it dives down and really starts to do the "ITS GONNA EAT ME!" thing.
