Weight it enough to sink and you'll have a jig you can retrieve slowly. Should work just fine. Sorta like a big fly that pushes water.

Thanks!

It's a great excuse to mix flytying w/plug making...I weighed this one so it sinks slowly @ nearly a 30 degree angle. Seemed a more natural presentation (horizontal)than tail first descent.I'm still working on perfecting this one.
