4 1/2" ledgerunner split tails would be really good. They do a good baitfish and/or shrimp immitation. So they cover both bases. The clear w/ glitter in all colors has been good on flats up here for bass and in florida for reds, trout, etc.

I'd think it would be good on bones and tarpon. Like John said... weighted along the shank. Look at the daichi butt draggers for an example. Clammer is also right... I really use as little weight as possible, while still being able to cast effectively. You're going to be sight casting, so you'll need to be able to hit your spots. But the slower with less weight is deadly.

Other small jerkbaits like bass assassins... I use the ledgerunners and bass assassins primarily. I also got some trout on a DOA shrimp this year, incl. a nice one over 4lbs. Bonefish and tarpon supposedly love 'em.

Good luck...
