crankbait design

I want a crank bait that will dive to about 5 feet and wobble well at a very slow retrieve. Any suggestions on what body type would be the best for this type of action?

I will take a look Nathan, thx. I back-troll with a driftboat plugs here for salmon and steelhead and many of the tail-out sections that hold fish run slow, plugs like flatfish work well but wanting to make something different. Thanks again.
