The one in Keller does not (or at least I can't find them)
I've been using Water Gremlin 'Bull Shot"....sorta like a bullet weight but split. Lots cheaper than the purpose-built weights and seem to work just as well.

I have turned the Longview store upside down and cant find a single one. None of the help there seems to know what I am talking about either!

we carry drop shot weights at the waco academy, you need to talk to the hunt/fish manager and tell him to request some.

nearly all of them do, but you have to look REALLY hard and they only come in 5/16 and 1/2oz....another thing to note, they are made by bullet weights and only come in the round style not the slim style.

Haven't ever seen them in S. Austin, or san marcos Academy. But just saw in a magazine...Put a bullet weight on your line then tie a barrel swivel to the bottom. I haven't tried this tech. but its worth looking into.

I found them in the area where all the specialty bass terminal tackle is located in the lure section of our Academy.
At least my boat and truck are paid for, woo hoo!

Just use a bell sinker if your that hard up for a weight. Or a big split shot.
Really doesn't have to have taht fancy clip on it, for it to work.

I know it is not what you asked but bass pro has them. I am considering pouring them myself. Net craft has the swivels for about 11 cents. The mold is about $35.

JMO, but use a barrell swivel, use a light line to your weight so it will break if a fish gets it tangled, come off the swivel with a heavier line to your bait...you'll have a stronger rig.
