We have been working with JB-Weld it is( steel) for a friend that cannot use lead in the 1/32 and 1/16 doesn't really care if it is exact weight. 1/124 probaly would not care if the head is painted or not.They use this weight in our part of the country for trout under a clear float. Can make the jigs out of JB-weld but have not got the painting of them down haveing a hard time making the paint stick and last!!! Hope this helps.Bismuth is kind of pricey!!!! We have also been adding tin.Havent got the ratio tin/lead where it would be legal amount.

What is the gram weight of 1/124 oz? A local maker was curious. He had never worked with jigs this small
.228 grams, about a 1/4 gram.
Do they make a non-lead split shot sinker you could crimp on the hook as an alternative to pouring?

You might have to look at the fly fishing split shot for something that small. The problem I find with them is they're all removable and you have to get the ears off of them. You'd also want the larger groove so you're not mashing them when attaching to the hook.
