Then there are Tungsten dumbbell eyes too. On your coneheads if you don't already do it you can fill it up with UV resin to gain some weight and you can always add extra dumbbell eyes the fish don't seem to mind one bit.

You can also wrap the shank with lead (or lead-free) wire, push it up into the conehead, then fill the cone with resin. The wire also helps stabilize the cone while gluing it.
