Byard has let me "test sample" a cool product called Toobies which I think is great.  Denser than lead, 100% environmently friendly, reusable and magnetic!  They work well and get your fly down fast.  He also offers Dinsmore's and some other great weighty stuff at: http://linesend.com/product/on_stream.shtml#misc.  Take your pick!   Murf
