minnow plug (light weight)

I notice if you use a lighter weight minnow plug it runs shallower and fewer
snags. Also it has more veering action when jerking it, The drawback is the
shallow run the fish my have to rise to hit it. Somehow i tend to think the
fish are prone to hit deeper running plugs. It is hard to weigh the pros and
cons and risk the potential losses of fish using either or and the what ifs as
well.
