you can also use red snap swivels as well to just add some red paint to the cranks. I HATE changing out hooks so I don;t usually do it. I have another trick that I do and it does work just as good if not better for adding red. Maj, here's the tricky part about adding weight. They actually did a study on it and you can get your cranks down deeper and not lose action in your crank if you'll put a 1 oz weight about 12-15 feet (they said 20 though) above the crank with a inline swivel as a stopper for the egg sinker. YUou need it to slide though is the key. You can get about 20% deeper if you run the 1 oz weight on it if my memory serves me correct. Then again it is fun to have 150 foot of line out and you're having to ski a 2 pound crappie back to the boat
