I'm not making one but why don't you just use a lead or tungsten bullet weight or an old spinnerbait head just take the wire out of the middel

I get ticked off enough snagging someone's fishing line that they broke off. Wait till everyone starts getting hung up in one of these that people have broken off.

Friend made one, we are testing it out on the water tomorrow! Made the head in a 1 1/2oz spinnerbait mold with fiber resin. Locked the wires in the mold with a big swivel. Used saltwater stainless steel leader material.

trying to figure out why everybody is making theirs so heavy... The actual Alabama rig, without baits applied weighs 3/8 of an ounce.
