One of the "old time" plug knockers was just a spark plug with the electrode mashed down once you put it on your line. The best plug knocker I've used personally was just a heavy weight with a cork screw wire at the top that your line is threaded through. It also had small pieces of chain coming out the bottom that would snag the hooks on your bait. Another thing I would recommend is using braided line on your plug knocker. It doesn't twist like spiral twisted nylon. It's hard enough getting a lure back without having to fight a tangled up mess of plug knocker line. I used an old chalk line reel to keep my knocker on. Just pull out as much line as you need and when your done just reel it up.

hope this gives you some ideas,

Ben
