Some squidly pencils.
The original one which was my plugfest contest plug was 2 3/4 oz, the new ones are 3.5 and 4 oz.

The yellow and white ones on the bottom are 4 oz, and the top two are 4.5 oz. I've been trying to what I could make in the 4 -4.5 oz range...

The 4 oz ones float with the head out of teh water by an inch or so and the 4.5 just barely floats... These go up and down more than side to side, and I really like the backwards look. I figure if bass are headhunters and that head goes up and down...

These ones were heated and epoxy sealed with mirror coat and have that as a topcoat also. When I sealed them I did not think to wipe the excess off. The wood really soaked it in and I did not think of wiping the excess off. When I went to assemble them the belly grommets would not fit but the wood really got hard so I think they'll be ok. Seems like you learn something every day doing this stuff.
