What is a cheburashka weight used for?
A cheburashka is a round fishing weight with a wire clip, so the hook hinges free of the lead.

Hinged, not a fixed jig head. You swap hooks and weights without cutting a poured head. Used for spinning and jigging with soft lures.
When should you use a cheburashka weight?
Use it when you want jig weight with a weedless or offset hook you can change, or a more natural fall than a locked head.
What problems does a cheburashka weight solve?
It lets the lure kick independently of the weight, and you can change size on the bank without retying a new head.
