Well that all made much more sense thank you guys! Just one final question and I'll be out of your hair...I managed to stumble upon North Bar Bottle Darters. Would birch be best used for that lure as well (I don't have any experience with bottle plugs to really know)? The design is very intriguing though I sense that type of lure will definitely need lead in the tail.

The NB Bottle darter (and most bottle plugs but not most darters) is pine with a tail weight and and a belly weight, so it will float at @ 30 degrees with the water level even with the line tie.
