I am looking for a knot or swivel or something that will allow me to adjust a sinker on a drop shot rig without re-tying. So let's say I have a hook with a sinker below it by 18"... I want to be able to slide the sinker up the line and have it 12" below the hook instead (so now there's an excess 6" just hanging off the sinker).
I swear I've seen something like this before but I can't find the right words for Google to find it. Any ideas out there? Thanks.

Slip bobber stops or small split shot?

I don't know how heave you need these but these come in 1/4 oz. Removable Split Shot Sinker.

Look for the dropshot weights with the pinch style line clip.

I rig my leaders w/ 2 slip bobber stops & a sliding egg sinker to let bait climb & drop in water column. Seems like it would work for a drop shot setup.

Yup---same here. Also use for sinker above the hook when not using dropshot.

Same!

With what your describing I would use a lindy rig with a phelps (or other) floating jig. Action will be different but there will be no weight on the line at all.............There is nothing that walleye can inhale as easy as a phelps floater and this setup works well for trout too.

I have some Do-It molds to make some similar sinkers.
I think that is exactly what the he's looking for!

I can’t take credit as a bass fisherman bud turned me on to them a few seasons ago
