Finally - at long last - here they are!

No 'pic' necessary - they're a small BRASS -  chrome plated ( shiny/silver) - bead - that are brass underneath
- not the cheap hollow plastic beads found in craft shops!

You've read about 'em in my books - many have gotten free samples with jig orders - for years - now here they are,
 so you can get what you need for your tackle box and fishing requirements!

     These are chrome plated brass beads, (not the cheap/light hollow plastic beads found in craft shops) that can be used to get your bait/lure down deeper - and WITHOUT the 'dead zone' in the line under a typical split shot.  As well, any of the 'pinch on' split shot always causes a weak spot in your line - the slider weights don't.  These are simply wonderful for trolling/drift fishing where you need a LITTLE extra weight.  Yes, there are several sizes available - these simply slip on above the lure/bait before you tie it on - that's it.  Ice fishers love 'em too - smaller slip sinkers actually become PART OF your lure/bait presentation and when the bites are light/neutral/negative - you need EVERY trick in the book!  If you need larger/more slider weights - egg/slip sinkers are available at most (even small town) tackle shops inexpensively.  I offer these 'tools' 'cause they simply aren't available easily elsewhere.  As mentioned above in the slip bobber section, I personally use two bobber stop beads - the bottom one is always one of these small slider weights - because it gives (I always use as small of a lure/hook as possible) a little more weight to my lure/bait presentation - so it will cast a bit better - and get down to the fish a little quicker - often necessary to avoid hoards of smaller fish.  I use these 'in place' of conventional split shot - as a 'pro' - I need 'consistency' at catching fish - and these are simply another 'tool of the trade', not often used by other pros or ardent fishers - we need every cutting edge we can get!  No question though - these are NOT particularly heavy, and are used for a SMALL BIT of extra weight, but great for that specific purpose.
     FOR LARGER HEAVIER slider weights - simply go to your local tackle shop and pick up egg/slip sinkers, which come as small as 1/8th oz and most stores also carry 'em up to a half to 3/4 and some as heavy as a full ounce!
