i was sitting here bored and figured out a way to make your own screw in weights   very easy    

1. get a pair of pliers, a bullet weight and a clicky pen or mechnical pencil

2. take the spring of of the pen

3. clip off the bunched up sides to get a good piece of spring and then pull it out in lenght alittle  

4. take one side and straighten it out with the pliers  then feed it through the bullet weight

4. b. staighten it out so it isnt cocked eye and bend over the tab at the top of the weight  

5. make sure everything is lined up and go fishing   ive just made two  its not hard im just really bad at explaining things    

Can you post a pic of your new invention?

i lost my wire from my camera to my computer  i have to go get a new one  i took a pic of them  just didnt upload the pics yet  

Sounds like a plan.

Don't remember which magazine it was, but someone used those pen springs as keepers on hooks. Nice spin on it though.

Thanks! Very helpful!
