Location: S.W. WI | I made one myself from a 2 oz. egg sinker for the XL Beavers that stay so shallow. I hammered egg sinker to flatten a bit, screw thru existing hole with a screw from Menards, and it worked. I kind of mushroomed it and secured the screw somehow. it isn't difficult, just takes some tinkering. |

Location: Madison | try the "no roll river sinkers" I have seen them up to 5 ounces. Drill a hole in the center of the weight to put the screw through. |

I dont exactly recall, I may have used one from an old Phantom weight, or I purchased a brass screw with the same threads at Menards. either way. looks like I melted a little lead and secured it on top.
Now I think i would use a stainless measuring spoon as a mold and set a screw in it and pour lead around it. |
