I've been looking for one of the older Weedless Walleye molds. They're hard to find. I have both, one of the older Walleye molds with the ball collar, and the new version, and very much like the newer version. I tie them both often, with hair or marabo.
This is a very good suggestion IMO, but definitely with a 1/8"weed guard pin, so fiber guards can be used too.
