hey kid, when fishing a slip bobber do you have to retie often due to the sliding weight tearing your knot up? i know you pry use a bead to protect the knot but that doesnt allways work, but anyways what im getting at is a buddy of mine makes these sinkers 1/2 to 1 oz. and they are fixed with swivels and im wondering if you would want to try them out, and maybe hopefully want to purchase some? if so, drop me a line narnia75@juno.com or jus reply to this one..**berkley boy**
