    Default swivels


    Where can I fine the swivels that go in to egg sinker. I like to make some weighted egg sinker about 1/2 to 1 oz. or is 1/2 to 1 oz to heavy to make swiveled egg sinker? I have been using tear drop type and they spin to much for me. I like to come up with something to fix them with out having a swivels on both ends.
    All men are created equal, some work harder in the preseason.

    If your fishing them on the bottom of your rig just get some Bass weights with the swivel already made in. If you want to make some out of some egg sinkers you already have find some small swivels at Walmart that will fit in the hole even if you have to enlarge the hole or force the end in a little then just crimp it down with pliers.

    Like Cray said.
    Find a swivel that fits and will seal the hole. High heat silicon can be used to seal the other end, cleaned out easy if needed.
    I've thrown the weight off of homemade bass sinkers. I use a staple through the ring of the swivel now.
