Is the line tie central or off center? Dropping it off center ought to help.
Lengthening the plug, and narrowing the mid section should help.
More tail weight and smaller hooks might work as well.
Spooks walk the dog because the fat head resists moving and the heavy tail swings by it. The more subtle these factors the further they will glide. ANything that converts the pull into an upward force (ie the shape of the plugs throat-midsection) will make them bounce. Dropping the line tie reduces this some, but is not necessary if the plug has a more tapered head (like a howdy). Anything that makes the tail drag (bucktail, weed, or large hooks) impairs walking and glide.
