All pencils are weighted in the ass so that they can walk the dog like a zara spook. By weighting the center of it.... This will kill the action and make it harder for you to get the right zig zag that drives the bass up to the surface to grab it... Now to much lead will make it sink.
Most guys use AYC for pencils and drill a 1/2 hole in the ass for the weight.
I hope this helps ya and dont cut round plugs with the chop saw because the saw will rip it out of your hands at high rate of speed and drag your fingers towards the blade... always use a push stick when using a table saw.
