had good luck with bottle darters .. fattys and Larry Welcome type .. I used hard maple and weighted just back of belly hook like 1/2",,, darted well on moderate retrieve and even did a little swim wiggle on slow retrieve..Once I weighted a pikie around the thru wire up front like they did .. Rolled like a bastard .. I never made a bottle plug .. Have a Gibbs that rolls out imediately on retrieve . I think Larry Welcome uses something lighter ... maybe Larry will chime in and tell us .. he does look in once and a while .
