Floating jig heads

[FIN]

I'd like to try floating jig heads. I'm wondering if its possible it to turn the hook up without ruining it.
I was thinking about holding the shank with needle nose, heating the hook with a bic then turn the hook with other pliers. Could this work? I fish shallow water a lot. I thought I'd put a small bullet weight about 1 foot above the jig and drag the weight on the bottom. Kinda like a drop shot in reverse. I like trying new ideas.
Thanks
