This was Neil Kelly's favorite lure. He is the guy who wrote the original "Baja Catch"

Yo-yo makes a line of salt water grade Chrystal minnows. Several sizes and colors in deep and shallow diving. They don't need a fast speed to work but do stay stable at higher speeds.

I've caught fish on them in LJ and sea of Cortez. Some work well casting too.
That said I've never done particularly well on plugs and generally only use them when I can't catch bait.
I've had more success trolling heavier swim baits.
