I'm gonna sound like a snob here, but I wouldn't call those dannys.
That doesn't mean they won't fish well (as RM has shown with his version), but they have more in common with a surfster than a danny. Those plugs will use a fat light body to stay on top, and a high slot lip to get the head down and working. The tail will lift and the resultant action will be a pretty fast wag.

A danny uses a heavier deeper sitting body and a low slot lip to lift the face and keep it working along top. My experience is that the deeper sitting body will start working at a slower retrieve and with a slower wag. Fish will hit both styles and sometimes the faster wag works better, particularly when conditions are calm, clear, and the fish need something to agitate them, or when using the plug in current, but by night or when there are big fish around I want something that works at slow speed and with a big slow wag.
