| I have been in the market for some weighted swim bait hooks, but I want some that I can fish fast and still fish the bait deep. The heaviest I have found is a 10/0 with 1/2 oz weight. That seems kind of light to me for the application I want to use. Anyone know where a guy can find some swimbait hooks that are 10/0 to 12/0 and have closer to an oz of lead? Is this something I would have to make on my own? Thanks!

Location: Kentucky | I'm looking for the same thing for use with 12" action plastic baits. I've pretty much decided that I'm gonna have to make my own. You should be able to make a really easy mold out of a 2x4 cut in half and the "mold" made with a dremel. |

| I have found that I can buy unweighted swimbait hooks in 10/0 and then just buy rubber core weights in 3/4 oz and/oz 1 oz and crimp them onto the hooks. |

| Wind some lead solder round the hook shank, or just use a jig head if you don't need it to be weedless. |
