mabey you should try to make a MS slammer type bait that will run deeper? I made one that is just like a slammer but will run at 10ft w/ the same action, problem is that it is kinda a pain to add the weight and find out exactly how much you need since it varies from lure to lure since no 2 pices of wood are exactly the same.

Also mabey you could make a big sammy type top water trout? I am sure it would be great, since there are not many made that are reasonably priced and look good you would probably sell a bunch too!

I hope these ideas help you out a bit and mabey get you thinking, idealy what I need is a swimbait for the delta that dosent just catch STRIPERS everytime I use one out there I end up w/ stripers x(
