You can take the rubber out of a rubber core sinker and clamp the lead down on the hook shank to increase the weight of the spinnerbaits.
I've fished them this way for bass in the bay at 45'+ depths.
In a related note I've caught Calicos on buzz baits at La Jolla. You have to watch for birds diving at you buzz bait though. Took off the skirt an slid on a paddle tail swim bait.
