Can't upload at the moment, but the plugs are 7 1/2 in. 3 oz. Pics to follow hopefully.
For years I liked those plugs with two belly trebles and a tail flag.

For bottles in general it is my experience that if the plug floats slightly tail down with the water level even with the line tie up front you will usually be OK. You can also tweak the line tie up or down a little on a bottle (just like a swimmer) to get a better or more stable action.
