anyone know where i can find clip on walking sinkers? The ones i had detached from the eye and you could add different size weights to it so you could switch weight without retying.
Any other kind of clip on sinkers would be helpfull too

Our pro-staffer have a neat trick, using a Quick Change weight snap and a safety pin clasp. Can change weights easily without retieing. can be seen at www.reelbait.com

Gary Roach designed some quick change sinkers that Northland Tackle sells. They have a wire eye on the top you just bend open and bend shut when you want to change. An added benefit is that sometimes when the sinker gets hung up in rocks it will pop off before your line breaks. Then after checking your line you can just bend on another sinker and be back in action. Here it is in their online catalog:

I started using the Roach sinkers last year. They work great. Haven't used my Lindy's since.
