hey mate, they are like ten bucks for the 8oz ones, its one of my pet hates!!! they cost like the equivalence of 3 bucks each in south africa. Most good stores sell them, i know oceanside has them up to about 8oz.

I try to make my own man, if sliding you can make longer and thicker arms as well.

if you are sliding with them, I found adding a "fifth arm" on top using wire and cable ties from which you attach your line makes the sinker hold better and you can also add a clip on the fifth leg to hook the stopper onto when casting.

gonna add a pic of the new version to that link when i get round to it

cheers mate sounds great :)

I want them for casting. Cos my rig will be too long to cast i can clip the hooks to the sinker hook for my cast. Young john_m93 on  this site told me about this rig and he seems to do well with it, want to give it a crack

try the imp clips the seem to do the same job and the dont cost asmuch in the long run
