If you are talking about screw in bullet weights for plastic worms, I made my own. Just wind a small diameter wire around a nail to make the screw part. Cut to the length you want. Epoxy the wire to the worm sinker. I made a little stand which was nothing more than small nails with the heads cut off nailed into a piece of wood. Slide the bullet weights over the nails nose down, concave side up. This will keep the hole for the fishing line open through the weight. Put a little epoxy in the base of the weight and slide the wire screw that you cut over the nail and into the epoxy. The rig is like a little jig that will suport the wire and keep the bullet weigh vertical while the epoxy drys. I've make dozens of these and they work just as well as store bought screw in weights.
