belly lead[for the type pine I'm using] is 1/2 dia x 1 3/8 long..tail is 1/4 by an 1 1/4 till it gets sliced off and sanded....nothing in the hook/nose holes but epoxy..floats with about 3/16" of the back out of water...used both long sst screw eyes and brass sinker eyelets..lrg. size....kinda like the brass eyelets best...think their no.2's..lost the tag in the bag.

a note of interest is if your making these from white pine they take on very little sealer which I think is because it's all surface and no through holes at all.....But! if you make them from basswood and seal with oil,be prepared for a long dry out time and the lead size will be different because of all the sealer it takes on....epoxy sealing I know nothing about and won't fuss with.
