sure it works but no need all the special non mechanical properties are not needed. especially what it does on stop and go. for trolling at wahoo speeds you can use stiffer tougher rubber and will possibly need significant ballast in terms of hook, weight in belly as you suggest. I used them in normal mode trolling for billfish and they got bit by everything, but could not operate much over 3 knots. fifty of them on an umbrella dredge attractor would be killer.
Bring lots.
good luck, let me know how you do!
