none... I weighted these w/2 belly weights, size 5 split shot. before and after the swivel hole. I wanted them to sink slightly nose up, but mostly horizontal. So I gave up a little in casting ability to do that. These are not big wind lures, but cast well in a moderate breeze. Plus w/the center of mass closer to the middle of the plug, they are very receptive to even moderate rod action, again, something I was looking for.
