Anyone Have A Good Non-Lead, Skinny Drop Shot Weight That's Not A Insanely Expensive?

I lost 10 DS weights yesterday and I need to replace them now.

I was just wondering what you guys all used for non-lead weights (no lead 1/2oz or less in VT). I'll be using them in rocks and occasionally weeds so I do prefer the skinny shape over the ball.

We DS'd an old wreck yesterday, it was brutal on tackle but the fish were incredible. I'm hooked on the DS now!

I haven't noticed any that are very cheap, but these Kanji's are pretty nice. I fish these in more open water, but if you are fishing a lake with vegetation I would get a straight finesse drop shot weight.

 

If you are losing skinny DS weights, take pliers and bend them into a mild banana shape, reduced the snags for me significantly.

i just use bass casting sinkers with a split ring attached to that, then add on a swivel which helps prevent line twist...
