Understood
I like the small weight (1/32 to 1/16 size) that swings freely, gives more movement to the bait I believe

How it allows the fluke to sink as opposed to the head down motion. I use the nail weight sometimes as well, just a different presentation that works for me I’ll have to give it a try.

Steve - I believe Riveria tackle shut down a few years ago. Would be interested if you found someone that makes these now.

I believe he did as well. Will let you know if/when I find anything. I have experimented with modifying a dropshot weight. The wire part that clips to your line bends pretty easy so I am able to make it where it can move freely on the hook shank. I need to round the wire put a bit more. Will give it a try at my pond tomorrow to see how it performs. Pic attached that shows the original one from Rivera Tackle and the one I modified. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2025/03/full-3279-264315-img_3204.jpeg)

Advantage to the lead dropshot weight is it can easily be cut down to whatever size I need it to be for the bait I am using it with.
