    Tail weights

    I have tried to find these and I am having no luck, maybe I don't know what to call them!
    They are the bullet weights that have the "U" shaped wire out the back that you hook your hook through to make the bait glide away from you on the fall.

    Anyone know what I am talking about and where to order them?



    There is a fine line between \"FISHING\" and just standing in the boat going through the motions!!!

    I don't know exactly what you men, but have you thought about taking some finish nails and cutting them to different lengths and shoving them in the tails? That should do the trick.

    Re: Tail weights (OrygunBasser)

    I made some by drilling out the hole in a t-rig weight and cutting and bending a paper clip. push the wire in from the big end of the weight and then bending the ends where they come out at the point so they won't pull back through. Not pretty but they work.
