I use lead for tail wgt. Like I said you will have to craft the thing that hangs down. Can be done several ways. Goo goo man, Glenn, did some with a piece of stock and 2 holes recessed into the back of plug like Pt Jude surf slapper. Do a search for it. Worth a look. Probably be the easiest way. I did it the way it was done cause that is how i like to do it and this is a Lido not a Pt Jude. But for just making one that functions that would probably be your easiest way if you don't want to go thru too much trouble. Not that Glenn's was easy, he did a fantastic job. His tail wrap is on front of plug with bike spoke style too.
