I can see where you are coming from there. I built these particularly for a running current in the canal. For me I have my best success in the canal, just throwing them out as far as possible and letting them sweep across the current constantly thrashing. Beach fishing I feel that pencils that can glide as well as bounce as you described are more effective. And you are correct these are a rough take on a Gibbs pencil. Here's a pic to give you an idea how these sit.
