I just finished machining an in between size darter I feel will be perfect for that shallower application. Also the next to smallest darter that Musso made, wood of course, was ideal for that application too. George luvs them. He uses basswood I use AYC. I am finding that lighter wood like ayc is an excellent material for darters. I used to use a heavier wood like maple and birch, which i still use for my larger Pichney style darter. The fact it is light allows for it to rise up once the retrieve is slowed or stopped pretty quickly but still digs and swims surprisingly good once it gets under.
