I tied something VERY simular to this a couple years ago also... I never fished it much either, or ever I don't think. I was going along the line that it resembled a rubber worm, I think this will have better action though. I think it would work. I sometimes fish rubber worms on the bottom, and sometimes I throw them completely weightless... it's up to the fish. Wish I could tell you more about it, but I'm glad you posted this.
