This thread has inspired me to keep my eyes open for alternative materials. I discovered this in my garden this morning, a palm nut. It already has a natural groove in place for hook placement. I tossed it into the pool it sank like a like a DI 5. I liked the splat! Bottom feeding beetle immitation perhaps?
