You will build much better plugs if you learn to weight them, although darters usually don't require it.
Depth control on plugs is dependent on many factors....not just the wood used.

For needles, do you typically weight the tail and the belly or just the tail? I am using Maple for the wood and aiming for around 5"-6" range, just kind of unsure where to add weight into the needle body. Aiming to make the needle a sinker not a floater.
