Not really. Redfins loaded still have the wiggle fish like. Lips on needles make them swimming plugs and Tins like PT.Jude's are way more effective than painted metal.

Back when in the good ol days of the seventies the boys on Nantucket used to wrap the tail end of 7 inch rebels with Solder. Glued in place it kinda tightened the wiggle a bit but it cast like a rocket and would help the plug dig.

Atom Lures made a loaded version of the venerable plastic P-40 which had two large steel balls inside in response to guys who were drilling and weighting their own. Plug sinks like a rock and is only good in faster alongshore current and rips.

A good Montauk style darter with a teaser will work when the water is foul and acting up if you can't or don't want to load your plugs. Need that Montauk style wide body to dig down to drag your teaser where it will do most good. Gibbs, Beachmaster and Tattoo's tackle make them in that style.

Why even try.........
