Yup - take a split-shot of any size (better with big Water Gremlin Bull Shot) and make it into a slip weight by opening it up, laying the shank of a bigger (3/0 or 4/0)aberdeen hook into it, and clamping it closed with a pair of pliers. Open it up, and now you can put it on above a swivel. Nedd more weight? use a bigger one. need less? use a smaller one. No re-tie required.

We're usually fully stocked but you caught me on a bad night!
Tuesday night is usually "board meeting" night if you know what I mean. Stop in and have a tasty beverage some Tuesday night after these holidays are over and things get back to normal.
