I'm not a light line guy and like to finnesse some smallies/largies... I made these in 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 with a 1/0 2X super strong tempered/forged super needlepoint hook. I wanted 2 keeper barbs to keep the plastic in place... Nothing will float a ned rig better than a ball head as long as there is no lead on the collar to pull it down. I like how this looks like a minnow eating, much better than the other heads I have seen.
