The biggest thing I noticed is that for their size, they are very heavy, so they will sink faster and will be easier to feel at the end of the line.

Because of the extra weight advantage, I don't even care that they cost 3 times as much as the lead ones. I wonder how long it will be before Rapala and the others start making lures like the Jigging Rap out of materials other than the more and more illegal lead?

On an interesting side note, the packages have the standard California lead warning, but so do Swedish Pimples, which are brass and nickle.

The warning could be from the paint.
