For weights, I have a ton of jig heads for grubs of various sizes that don't get used. Instead of buying a bunch of "drop shot" weights I will just cut the shanks off of those jigs leaving the ball with an eye. Either tie directly to it or knot a big knot below it so it will come of before breaking the whole rig off.
That is just a trick I use to keep from having to buy a bunch of separate weights for that technique.
