I had a few plugs made by a guy that looked similar to that popper in your pic. I see some type of cupped shape. These plugs had a much larger "cup" on the tail, and looked a little weird, but man did they throw water!!! Is there a way for you to do something like that? It looked like a mushroom at the ass of the plug and would throw water like no other lure I have used, to this day.
Just a thought, since your picture made me think of it. Otherwise, they both look great. I can see the effects the sun would have on them, especially in the water. Nice job.
