That's a good idea.. I have taken 3" tube bodies and shoved pellets in them, then superglue the open end mostly shut and just run a hook through the rubber. I've also found pantyhose works (don't lie to me and say you other guys haven't cut up a pair)by cutting a 2.5" circle, putting some pellets in that and tying the little gift basket together with braided line. I also prefer to use a slip sinker and fish on a slightly slack line but no more weight than absolutely needed to cast or get it down.
