Anyone Know Where To Buy Screw In Sinkers For Senkos?

I can't say as I've ever seen a ball sinker with a wire screw.  If such a thing exists, I would love to see a picture of it.  Your best bet might be to contact someone who pours sinkers, they might could rig you up something.

Texas bass tackle *m has tru-tungsten screw in weights on close out. I know they have 1/16 oz, maybe one size lighter... Just a thought.

You can also buy cheap light wire ball head jigs, and nip the hook with wire cutters.  Inexpensive Neko rig.

LunkerCity makes nail weight with a round ball end in various sizes. You can pinch a round split shot onto a HitchHiker.

Use a screw. Everybody has a ton of these, different lengths, weight, etc. Cheaper than buying anything....

Easy to make your own and they have a center aligning pin too.

 

I have this wire with the end pre-bent but plain wire is just as easy.

 

I wrap the wire by hand around the WD-40 straw/tube.

 

In your case add the sinker, hook, etc to the loop before wrapping.

 

I think they are .040

I just use round headed screws that I get at Ace Hardware.  Cheap, comes in different sizes (weights) and either silver or gold. 

 

Makes perfect Neko rigs.  I usually rig 4 or 5 Senkos with them and put them in a different plastic bag, ready to tie on.

 

Most of us have a assortment of screws lying around in a drawer somewhere.  Start with those.

Minnow beat me to it except I use flexible and cheaper floral arrangement wire thinner than what is pictured).
