    Fatman I use a 60 degree deburring tool on the ends of the lead cylinder. You are right that it would tear up the line if it were left untouched.

Tails are my usual arctic fox tail and the bodies are crystal antron chenille. They probably weight about 1/100 oz. Usually fish them two to four feet under float during the spawn which is starting here. They work very well fishing shallow submerged stakebeds. Thought I would share with you all.
