The Timberflash is about 10 inches long, made of wood, and has a much tighter action than a Slammer or AC Plug. It will rise and drift below the surface of the water as you vary the retrieve speed. Only the tail wakes the surface on a typical retrieve with the Timberflash. It is different enough from other wood plugs to have is own place. I've had a few good fish locally on it, no hawgs yet.

The ES Drive is a very progressive design. It is only about 6 inches
long, is made of plastic,and is a sub-surface "dog walking" bait. The design originally came from Kikumoto(who also designed the Timberflash) while working with the lure company Gan Craft. Their bait called the Jointed Claw started the whole genre. Then Kikumoto(who designs the Combat Lures division of Evergreen) tweaked the design a bit and made the ES Drive. This sub-surface action has become the most desired technique for big bass in Japan right now. Jackall has introduced its Sride with the same idea, and the Triple Trout from Whitmer achieves the same action when cranked below the surface.

I've got a couple of each lure, but they are really hard to get. Even in Japan you rarely see them aside from internet auction sites. Even the tackle stores who get stock sell them at auction rather than just putting them on the shelf. You'll have to make a friend in Japan to get one for sure.The Es Drive typically sells for about $70-90 at auction, even though the retail is only $35 or so.

Remember that most of that River2Sea, Megabait, Strike Pro stuff is all knock-offs of original designs made with cheap labor in China. That stuff is junk.
