here are what the weights look like. The longer 3/4 " dia. one is 1.1 oz and the larger 5/8 dia. one is .9 oz and then they go down to the smallest one which is 1/2" dia. used for the med BM danny. So I have a bunch of choices. I have one done with the largest in there and it seems perfect but I am screwing around with lips now. As far as rod I was thinking a lariat or catapult.

The darters are for Gattafish

I like the body shapes, but I suspect you will want a narrower lip. Wide lips make dannys roll more. If you go with a wide lip, consider making a cut from the top bend to the back of the lip, then sand it smooth, to taper the lip into the sides of the plug and avoid proud corners.
