Loaded Red Fin Question

The Cotton Cordell Red Fin

Liquid: Bunker oil or Baby oil ?

(These are the two oils that I have readily available. If the red fins leak over a period of time then the bunker oil will stink. If the same holds true but with baby oil then the bass may detect the molecules of the baby oil and shy away.)

Volume of liquid: What to use 10cc or 15cc or inbetween ?

Red fin weight is 1oz
10cc approximately .33oz.
15cc approximately .50oz.

There is one source that indicates 15cc that will dig to the sand thus simulating a sand eel. This may be fine for sand bottoms but not rocks. I do like the extra weight for casting but not at the expense of losing the lure.

Is there a certain retrieve method to keep it off the bottom or should I go with 10 cc ?
