Bass Pro Shops stocks the red ones, if that's any help.

Seems like a good item for some enterprising rod building supply dealer to offer.

I have a couple that I bought at BPS. However, I made up a set of several different weights from jig heads. Just cut the hook off, and marked the weight on the head with a finepoint Sharpie. Have to be a little bit careful and not bonk someone in the head when casting, but this is really not a problem. By cutting the hook shank off right at the lead head, there is nothing to snag when retrieving the cast.

Drill a hole thru a Golf ball,hammer a large Trebble hook in the hole = casting weight
For heavier weight use a Baseball

I normally use beat up old lead head flipping jigs that I have laying around. Saves you from having to spend more money, unless you are going to let a child use this and prefer not to have a leadhead crashing into everything in sight.
