Here are a couple of bugs that I have used with success.
The top bug is is made using beach shoes glued onto popper hooks. It has rubber legs, marabou tail and a hackle. The weed guard is not clear but is installed using Mason Hard monofilament # 20 lb.

The bug below has a beach shoe piece within the front head which causes the slider to just sink slightly.
Both of these bugs have caught hundreds of bass in BC. I fished them using a straight 15 lb. test leader of 8', a 9 1/2' rod and a 8 wt. line.
