Neat.

Try this. Take that pink and orange shape in the third picture (I like the taper to the head on that one), mount a mid slot lefty2 lip but cut the slot above midline so the bend is just a touch below the chin of the plug. Bend the line tie down. Weight the plug a bit behind midpoint so it floats a bit deeper than midline, probably will take 12-15grams (you'll likely need to drill through it). Now test the plug, it will be unstable but should have a slow wide wobble and run just a touch subsurface as long as you don't rush it (if it will do a barrel roll with a twitch you are good). Fish it day or night as slow as you can stand. All white or all purple are best, no eyes (too much roll). Hang on.
