Where is the best place to get the weights and lure insert to add a weighting system to a dive/rise I built? What is the size and thread of the phantom screw in weight if I want to improvise?

There are kits out there that come with the insert and like 5 different size weights... Simple--drill hole--add the insert in the lure--and experiment with the different size weight until you find the action and rise you like---- The Kits are like $6 ea...

I'm pretty sure the phantom inserts are 6/32 threads.

Standard is mostly 6-32.  Most on line retailers carry weight kits.  Here's the threaded inserts
