I made my own from some .062 ss wire bent around a wooden form with some nails driven into the appropriate locations. Then you just slip on various egg sinkers to adjust the weight for changing conditions. Use good quality ball bearing swivels. They are worth the extra money.
This might the way I'll have to go. You ever have trouble with blues mistaking the egg sinker for bait and biting you off?

Thanks for the tip on the ball bearing swivels.
