Thanks  @Sandan.

So here's a go based on the video.

Mustad R75S, 2XH/5XL, Sz 4, Yarn instead of EP (way cheaper to play around) .  Still needs a trim. 

I can't tell whether it looks like an Ewok or the gremlin, before it got wet.  Swim Test next.

@Noahguide, glad to have found that for you. The toad you tied looks great, btw.

Thanks, after a swim I've trimmed it up quite a bit. 

I didn't have enough keel weight, using light "beading beads" on the prototype, but swims well and lands bottom down.

Might have to try it with the $$ stuff as the poly yarn holds way too much water, but as a proof of concept I'm happy with it.

Latest variation.

Went with a heavy wire jig hook, sz 2.

3X tungsten beads for keel (1/8"), longer tail, under tail using fibers.

I remember what I don't like about working with those fuzzy fibers!

Not swim tested yet.
