I find it much easier & safer to go to the most popular venue in the area on bottom water of the big springs, you get weights, booms, clips, beads, snaps, feathers, swivels, etc, etc, plus if you are lucky the odd razor fish or whelk.
Some of you guys make up some really complicated rigs, then hurl them out to sea without being able to cast properly, its great!
Similar to the golf balls I collect, when I fly fish in the river down the side of the golf course!
Carry on lads, cant remember the last time I bought a weight, swivel, or golf ball!
