why? what good would they do? Typically you need a lot of weight to keep it as vertical as possible. Even in 100' of water I find myself looking for 10 oz jigs. Any current at all and a 1 oz butterfly becomes worthless. I think the lightest I use is 4 oz.

Point Jude Deep Force Slim jigs. I picked up some at RISAA but usually don't use much less than 4oz either. I'm pretty sure they had some in the slims that were less than 4oz.

I would do as Niko suggested and re-rig the Crippled Herrings butterfly style. Or Swedish Pimples and Deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s.
