So I really like fishing a swinging jig head with a rage tail structure bug, but the problem is that I seem to lose them a lot.  So I saw that Jewel Bait makes a carolina rig weight that is shaped like a football head.  Was just wondering if anyone has ever tried fishing one of these weights, pegged up by the hook (with maybe a bead in betweeen the hook and the weight), and fished it like a swinging jig head.  Seems like you would get the same action.  My only thought is that the trailer could roll on you easier, but seems like it would work.  A pack is $2.49 for 5 weights.  Could save a lot of money over replacing a jig head.  Let me know your thoughts or if you have had any experience with these.  Thanks guys.

Out of curiosity, what kind are you losing?  I've had difficulty with a few different ones.  However, the Biffle Hardhead is well worth whatever extra it costs, because it refuses to get stuck, snagged, lost.....  May be just me and coincidence, but I've gone through about four to one of 'others' to the Gene Larew variety.

I bought the ones from Seibert Outdoors.  I fish them on as light a line as I can in gin clear water and so when they get jammed in a rock the zebra mussels have no problem cutting the line.  Just part of game. 

Those are among the "others" I was referring to
