Can i use split shots for weight or do i have to melt lead into it Split shot will work fine on most lures. Place proper weight and fill in empty space with wood filler. ipock2 http://topfishingplace.com' rel="external nofollow"> Edited October 6, 2008 by Spike-A-Pike Rule 4 - not allowed to post a website as part of the signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snax Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Try to keep your lead mostly in the front section of the swimbait and don't drill deeper than the center line of the lure so it will track better and not roll at higher speeds.
