I am partial to the plastic ones now... I have been making them myself. Pretty simple...
Buy prism tape in the color of your liking, fold over, cut to shape. That's it. Between the blades I arrange glass beads to the color of choice... Total cost to make one will run you under a buck. Best of all, no drag!

Do you folk on the big lake run downriggers for the Cutts? Seems to me one might run the gang trolls off the ball and place the lure right above and slightly back... I do this for Koke's
and works like a charm...

Downriggin'
