If the intent of a loaded plug is to get extra distance and a little more depth, do we care what we call it ? So, Wouldn't a Needlfish modifed with a plastic lip (to give it a little more swimming action) fit the purpose, regardless of whether you call it a Needle or a swimming plug ?

Heavy needle (habs, beachmaster, etc.), darter, tattoo deep swimmer, superstrike bottle plug, bucktail, beachmaster conrad or cowboy, etc.

There are a lot of options, its a matter of figuring out what the bass want and what will hold and cast under given circumstances.

Most needles are tail weighted so I wouldn't think that adding a lip would make them swim well.
