Hi,

Bought some steel Bullet Weights (from the Bullet Weight Co.) the other
day.

Figured I would use them for my Carolina Rigs, which I like.
Also, possibly for some Texas rigs.

Haven't been into fishing for a few years, and I guess these things have
changed.

kind I always purchased had a simple hole thru the center.

These have a wire clip pre-assembled into them.

There is a small loop that protrudes on the somewhat pointy (convex) end.

But, in the internal cavity at other larger end there is another loop.

It's extremely small, and into the cavity too far to be able to thread
anything thru it, or attach anything to it.
Perhaps it's only purpose is to prevent this wire assembly from pulling
out
?
So, let me ask, please:

How are these things supposed to be used ?
How are they supposed to be rigged ?

Can I use them for Carolina rigs ? How ?
Or did I just buy the wrong type ?
Are the old fashioned designs with just a hole still made ?

Any thoughts would be ap[pr
Thanks,
Bob

Do they look like these?

Found the images on company website.

Only clips I could see they mentioned was on their drop-shot weights.
These are linked he

About the clipped dropshots they say:
"These dropshot weights, from the Bullet Weight Company, feature a
high quality clip designed to hold the line without tying a knot and
slipping off the rig when they get hung up without breaking off the
hook. Then, all you have to do is clip on another weight and you're
back to fishing without re-tying the whole rig."

There are a couple companies making a dropshot weight using a worm sinker
body instead of a round body. Maybe he got some of those.

These ones that James sells are Tungsten.
