a belly weight is meant to be a keel to keep the plug from rolling. A tall narrow belly weight's effectivenesses is far less to stop roll as compared to a wide weight close to the belly. The closer you get to the center of a plug(around the through wire)- the only thing the lead is going to do is make it heavier and maybe stabilize the plugs ability to wiggle from the middle of the plug and not from the nose (like a pikie).

go x-ray a beachmaster danny and you will see a huge difference in the belly weight.

id take a beachmaster danny over a pichney danny anyday, unless it is painted one color
