but your version is thinner. Strike King has a line-thru bait. Not sure if you can get them anymore.
Here is a trick for using that style of tailspin: If you use a glass bead between the bait and hook it will help eliminate the hook from fouling the line.
I bet you could modify a Mc Spinner or a Revenge by drilling thru the lead with a dremmel tool.

I bought up a bunch of them when they were in the bargain bin of some tackle shop. Have 2-3 of them left.

The Little George was availble in a "pro" model with the drilled hole back in the early 80's and before that I made a Spin Rite mold with a through hole back in early 70's that also uses a small skirt. Not much of secret.
