Ok you have lots of 1 oz jigs so you want to use them.

The answere is go fish somewhere where 1 OZ is enough. Another answere would be to trade some of your 1's for 2 or 3 or 4 OZ jigs.

Adding the extra weights so you can use the 1 oZ jigs you have in a stronger current will mean you will not catch many fish and you'll likely lose your 1 OZ jigs and the extra weights much more quickly.

Sorry buddy but what you are proposing is just a little too far out there to be practical.

Best set up is running line tied directly to a leader then to a jig. A swivel will help you make the connection if you are leary of a direct running line to leader knot.

I've been fishing a long time and have seen people add weights for eels , live herring or bunker , swimming plugs even sometimes but never for a jig.
