I want to build a surf bait I can cast with a surf rod against the wind. The ideal weight would be 2.5 Oz., but I know I can't achieve that and still maintain a topwater lure similar to a Zara Spook in size. In any case, what should I build the lure body with if I want to keep the length at no more than 5 inches, yet achieve the greatest weight without sinking to the bottom? Once I'm in the ballpark I can play with additional weights to make some topwater and some suspending lures. I have a metal working lathe for turning wood and metal.
