from the little bit of reading I have done about Czech Nyphing, they are heavily weighted. How much weight do you put on that?

 

[CaptMatt]

Thanks Jay. If you find Knapeks let me know. Id be curious who in PA carries them.

.010 wire almost all the way down the shank, a little into the bend.

Thats just my preference. Others may weight them a little differently.
