Slip Weights
Still being made.... Have a look at this web site.
We used to put a couple of half hitches thru the loop, put a broken in half tooth pick in the loop and pull tight.Somewhere down in my storage area I have some slip weights that (if I remember correctly) you looped the fishing line through rather then put it under the brass loops.
just saw an ad on craigslist under fishing equipment in Richmond.
Peetz, and Gibbs Delta still make the weights and they are available at most decent tackle shops. The 5 oz Peetz is ellusive and any Rowewr at the Tyee Club would happily take them off your hands

Its been done, Or drill a hole in them until they weigh 5oz... filing and drilling LEAD isnt a favoured pass time these days...One wonders about shaving some lead off the 6 oz to turn it into a 5 oz.
