Its a very nice shape, with a tail weight the preferred method is to counterbalance that weight with a weight forward of the hook. But listen everything should be tried and experimented. For all the plugs I have made succesfully there have been utter failures and disaster that were burned to destroy the plug failed evidence.
If you need some pictures of needle weightings let me know, but certainly experiment.
