Like everyone else, I had to try a pocket rocket.....again (I've made them before but never had much faith in them, Tim Coleman aside, and they're too light for the tackle I use). That little bugger has 3" of 7/32 through wire weight in it. Weighs about 1.4 oz with a 5/0 siwash. Still lighter than I like.

Probably should. It would add a little more weight. Needles are strange creatures, weight 'em level and they go deep, weight 'em in the butt and they plane right to the top. I'm finding bottles are even more mysterious. So much to learn, so much to screw up.

Here are a few more. The brown one was supposed to be a squid color, but looks more like a turd.
