    Belly Weights what size/style do you use?

    I use 1oz rubber coated heavy clip “Depth Finder” style
    I’ve use up to 3 of them to get a large fish to sit upright

    I heard they have heavier weights out there but haven’t seen them

    That’s what I use. I know a lot of people make their own. If they are not big enough then use 2.

    I've switched from bullet to flippin weights, mostly 1/4-3/8 oz. works well for me.

    That’s basically the same as what I use

    I just wish they made a heavier version of it

    You could try adding alligator clips to trolling weights? Those are common in at least up to 3 oz sizes.

    I should make a mold for these... But I have never needed or used them before.

    How about adding a clip onto the weights that are used to balance tires? Any size you want up to 3 oz. each.
    Probably get used ones for free at your local tire store.
