Thanks for all the nice comments. The plugs are 6.5 inches long and weigh 2 oz without hooks. I haven't fished them yet, so all bets are off on how well they perform. I think I may add more weight if I make another batch, and I'm debating about putting bucktails on them. Any opinions on the weight and tails?

As long as the weight is in or near the tail they should work fine.
In my experience bucktails hurt the action of pencil and spook style plugs by creating too much drag in the tail. When you walk the dog you want the heavy tail of the plug to shoot forward and push the lighter nose out of the way, making the plug veeer and glide to the side. By creating drag, I think the bucktail holds the tail back and inhibits the plug's action. Whether the slower action is good, or the added attraction of the tail outweighs the subdued action that results, I can't say.
