I started making these last year, after a trip to Canada walleye fishing. Wanted a jig that stood up on the bottom, but didn't sink in or get caught on stuff so easily. Of course, I couldn't find any, so I make my own. I took thin sheet metal, cut it to shape with shears, bent it around the hook and then soldered it in place. That one is about 1/8 ounce, but I have made them in several sizes/weights. One feature that is really cool is the fact that as it drops, or on a slow retrieve, it flutters back and forth, so the bait/soft plastic gets a lot of natural action. The walleye, bass and northern all love them.
