When I glanced at the thread title I thought I had a new spammer... ;D

What about putting the 'nipples' up on the top of the bait - have you tried that at all? Not sure it would even work right maybe but it might have a different action...

Have you used the rig that way enough to see how well the weights stay in? I wonder if instead of clipping the whole tag end off you bend it over real sharp and then clip off the excess so you have a little bit of a 90% bend 'barb' in it?

I've been mostly swimming my small swimbaits with a jighead but there are times when I would like a weedless setup. I've done it more with larger swimbaits with a big weedless hook and I use hooks that are already weighted when I want some weight. I'll have to see how the action differs I guess.

Big fan of glueing them in place when I fish it. Never tried the weights on top might have to see what that looks like.hmmmm
