    Default Lead wire question

    I want to add weight to my jigs without going to a bigger jighead.
    Right now I’m using a size 8 hook with a 4.6mm tungsten bead , which gives me a finished jig that weighs .87g .
    I thought about using a 5.5mm bead , but it would probably look out of proportion on the jig . I know the diameter difference between a 4mm and a 4.6mm is substantial IMO . But so is the weight .
    I was thinking about wrapping the hook shank with lead wire under my chenille body but was wondering if adding weight along the shank would affect the action of the jig ?

    Anybody ever add lead wire to your jigs .
