Propeller baits work great, but cast poorly. The Arbogast dasher came in several saltwater versions. I think the Surf Oreno was a prop bait. I've used the Heddon zara-spook sized prop baits along the Elizabeths with plenty of success. Too light for most of what I fish, however.
Bob Pond marketed a LMB style crankbait weighing about an oz. Never tried it much. Probably it would work.
Years ago I tried a large Musky Mepps spinner. Caught a few fish, but the drag from the big spinner during the retrieve was annoying (much like reeling in an umbrella rig). It really didn't feel like plugging (no chance to add action or work the lure) and I dropped it.
Sorry the picture sucks
