Very creative Tom!! Horizontal balance factor reminds me of my old ice-fishing fav lure (Rapala Ice jig) that exhibited the same, at rest profile. Ice jig is also a great open-water vertical jigging bait. Just another thought...if you take a conventional jighead, normal knot, then do 2 half-hitches to secure the "balance point" on body(chenille)...stay tuned, one for the laboratory.
