I think the swimming action of a popper is more likely related to its weight distribution and body shape, although too much cup might kill it. I'm not really sure but I've some limited experience getting needles and lazyfish to swim, and in those plugs it helps to think of the same principles that make a tin squid swim.

I know its a reach but when i am reading all this a lip-less Musso comes to mind, i know it has the top cut on the face but the bottom lip i believe has a slight indent? |

I used a large Silver & Deming drill parallel to the plug axis centered on the thru wire hole to make some acceptable popper faces. Tricks are not to go too deep, you only want the drill to just break the face of the plug at the bottom of the angle and use the right size drill to leave a ring around the face.

The bits you can buy are called Kutz-all bits. They are expensive and have different grit bits available.
And yes, they do jam up. If you do buy them, the best thing to do to clean them is use a lighter and burn off the wood particles. I use a fostner bit to get started because the Kutz-alls will run on you if you are using a drill press and mess up the face of the plug.
It's not a perfect method, but its good enough.
You can also look at buying a quality ball rasp at your desired diameter. Good luck.
