After you read TD's excellent writeups and until you manage to get some of his superbly crafted fligs, try threading a foam earplug onto a long-shanked hook. It easiest to shove the hook eye through the plug rather then work the plug around the hook bend. Add a drop of superglue to the shank as you work the plug into its final location.
A foam earplug will not float quite as heavy a bait as TD's fligs, but it will work to keep most baits off the bottom, which is the whole point. And the bright colors help, too.
