SEARCHING FOR SHOE LACE MATERIAL TO MAKE SLINKY WEIGHTS? DIY

[fishfight]

I have been searching for inexpensive paracord line or shoe laces that are wide enough to make our own Slinky weight, so far no luck. Ebay has some up to 3/4 inch wide, but too pricey.

Here is an article on how to make them, http://www.topfishingsecrets.com/confidentialtips/Slinky%20Weights%20for%20Drift%20Fishing.pdf

Anyone have any clue on the right size paracord or shoe lace? I can use other weigh material aside from lead weights if I have similar paracord material. I have not tried Heat shrink.

I also found this video, no need the paracord outer wrap. Just intertwine some slip sinker with strong mono. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-Snagless-Sinkers-For-Drift-Fishing/

Thanks

I use 1 oz pencil lead. 50 pack is 16 bucks. I bring small clipper pliers and cut it back if need be

Try surplus stores in your area.

You could also try the Dollar Store.
