Although you can put a skin on a danny, in my experience the best bet is a styrofoam atom jr. Leave off the tail hook, file a groove near the head, and leave a tail on the skin of about 4".

The senior plastic A40 also makes a great skin plug, but you'll need tackle that can throw about 5 oz.

Both atoms will snake along barely subsurface. You can use a BM atom jr, or Capt Andy Slopehead if you want to go deeper, but I like skin plugs on top.

Definitely try one on a needle as well.

They work so well it is like cheating, although the drop in casting distance and tail tangling issues can be a limiting factor.

You don't need a tail hook. Big bass inhale these things whole.
