Dennis, the new PR's feel a bit light compared to the original Pichney I have. Pretty much the reason I haven't tried Al's yet is due to this. Did he change the weight on them since last winter?

Toby,
Listed as 1 1/2 oz on package. Haven't done a scale comparison for weight. They "feel" close.

Original Pocket Rockets - Top black ones weigh 1.3 ounces, white one weighs 0.7 ounces.

Thanks Tobias - I knew someone had a scale.
Just a little more info - all stubbys on the market work including Super Strike, Habs, Gibbs - most are larger than the pocket rocket. The Gags comes "closest" to trying to duplicate the original purpose of the plug. They are fine sand eel imitations but to limit yourself to fishing them when only sand eels are present would be a mistake.
