The Saltys is perfect for that build yes, that's why I suggested them in the article.

Woody, I did some research on the Conrads and found that there were two different ones (sinking and floating) the floaters were made of pine and sinkers maple or birch. Of course I did not have a wide array of plugs to choose from so there may be other intermediate versions as well. Have you been able to confirm the use of maple in the floaters? Just curious. I borrowed a well-used floater that was clearly made of pine. Interesting how these guys made slight variations like this.
