These seem like they are exactly what I am looking for when I am drop shotting and pitching into cover:

Has anyone used them before? How long do they stay on the hook? Do you guys think the strange color will be too visible for the fish? I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on these.

I wish I had these back when I lived in MN and fished live minnows all the time for walleye!

Better solution than the button is this: http://www.ecoprotungsten.com/diamond-pegs/ I've been fishing the diamond peg for a couple months now, and they work phenomenally. The best part is that I've yet to lose a peg, I have every one that I started with.
