shaw, if you don't like the ones we have, try the gene larew high tide series.. they have a similar ring-shank design and a sharp, strong hook. 
I'm going to bring my meter to work tomorrow.. I'll tell you to the thousandth what they weigh.  |
I agree that those points are too much trouble.
I take some wire cutters and cut those points off any of the jigheads that I think would tear up a bait leaving just enough to hold the bait on. I bought some of those unpainted Norton's on clearance and cut the points off every one of them. The H&H unpainted jigheads are just about as good as any to use too. They've held up just fine for me for many moons.
