I made up some of my own homemade "slinky" weights while watching some football. A while back I ordered several hundred 1/4 egg weights off eBay. I use 8 per a weight to make a 2 ounce weight. I use a size 1 or 1/0 swivel and use my normal 80# leader material. I tie a palomar knot and leave two long ends. I then slide on eight egg sinkers and tie a couple of overhand knots. I cut the line leaving about an inch on both lines. Next, I cover with heatshrink tubing from harbor freight.

I usually use these when drifting clipped to a sinker slide (I get my sinker slides from Bottom Dwellers). This makes an easy change to a 3 ounce disc sinker when anchored. When I store my rods for the day I unclip the weights. This reduces the line tangles while trailering.

For the most part these have worked out pretty well for me, although they won't get you past a submerged tree line. I found that out the other day...hence the new batch of weights.
