Found it faster than I'd expected. The article was by Dave Anderson /Fisherman no9 march2 2006. He uses AYC (I suspect the original was white cedar) He says the original had a long weight in the front section inserted from the rear beneath the through wire. He weights his with a chin weight 1 '' back and a weight in the front of the tail section 3/4 " back. He is vague on how much weight (1/4" holes to near the centerline into which he pours lead). Also sounds like he uses a 1/4 " drill for his front section through wire hole to allow him to pass the doubled wire. Some chance I can xray an original soon. PM me your fax # and I can send you the article.
