Question Jointed Swimmers

I'm looking to add some long jointed snakes/eels to my plug bag. It's been my experience that many jointed plugs cast like socks. Can anyone reccomend some decent casting plugs in the 10", 2 oz. area. I've been eyeing the Mr. Wigglys and the new Hahns.

I was worried that at only 1.5 oz. the everlasting eel wouldn't cast very well.

Seem to cast just fine during light moderate and calm conditons,
but I like to see a 2oz version myself for heavier surf.

I got two - swam them in the local lake - haven't seen the salt yet but I liked the action!

I like the Hahns because it fit the gap between the Everlasting eel and the Murl Eel.
