Alternatives to this bait?

 The 4.8 inch Jackall Dead Fin Darter seen in the latter half of the video.  I've been hording these when they started to become harder to find and are now bascially impossible to find outside of a few colors.  I fish them two ways.  One is a low cast to skip allowing the bait to spiral fall at a target and then work the bait back slowly with a gliding and spiraling action.  The 2nd is a fast top water style retrieve over weeds with the bait jumping and walking on the surface then a pause to let it spiral into pockets.

 

I use senkos and soft jerkbaits for this too but there is something special about these baits that will get more pressured fish that have seen senko or fluke #89626374 to bite.  I've gone right behind guys sending senkos to docks and gotten bit dock after dock with the 4.8 Dead Fin Darter.  It's not always a ticket and there are times a normal soft jerkbait gets bit just as much.

I think I can replicate part 1. For that, check out the Dolive SS Gill. Spirals on slack line. With line tension, it does these awesome "S" pattern glides. Plenty of videos on the underwater action.

 

As for topwater part, I can't comment as I haven't fished it that way.

 

The Geecrack Spiron also does the spiral fall.

Maybe the beast coast blade runner

Deps bull flat (maybe, I don't recall whether the tail folds up on the fall)
