I've made some prototypes, but in reality when I get down to the smaller sizes (under 5-6") there's no benefit to the interior skeleton/sliding hook design to offset the additional cost of that type of design. I'd suggest trying the old Banjo minnow. It's not as stable as whiggley but has similar non mechanical action and wide variety of speed and buoyancy options.

The top video on our Videos page shows making a one using a 3D printer but you can easily sculpt a smaller Whiggley. We designed and printed this one because we had requests on how to use 3D printing to make a lure.

As Larry mentioned, the leader thru design isn't needed with this smaller lure so I just twisted up some brass and a laid that in the mold for a wire through design. Also added beebees in the Alumisol for weight. They run great and work phenomenally anytime largemouth or smallmouth are on shad.
