I've tried many different approaches with lead-weights...up to & including small sinkers. Depending on the buoyancy of the plug and weight of your lead, it will drastically effect the action of your plug. Remember now, were not just trying to put a piece of plastic/wood down in a deeper water column...we're trying to CATCH fish. Don't sacrifice the catch for the placement. Try these techniques from a dock or pier. Somewhere you can watch what your plug is doing...then ask yourself, "will this fool a fish"?

..here's an example of a very buoyant plug with a lead weight that's too heavy. The plug wants to float so bad, you can't fish it properly. Unless your using a very fast retrieve, this plug will not swim well.

Just my .02 from my experience
