Fast-forward a couple hours (I'm slow) and I have exactly what I want, but it sinks. Might still be a decent plug, but I wanted a floater so I could twitch it.

It obviously floated before you weighted it. If it's made of wood. Pull the weight out and cut some off. (Remove some of the lead) try it again. Keep doing this until you have what you want.
