Clogston, That's a great idea( with the weight in mouth) ! What I do is use a1/2 oz. split shot right above the eye of the hook. It works better than the rubber core and is much easier to put on and stay on while casting. I guess you could use multiple slplit shots if you needed more weight. I just need one usually for the wind or get the eel down a bit. I am going to try Clogston's method though, Thanks.
