Nice tip for Sputnik sinkers

 

Sputnik sinker issue

I use sputnik sinkers all the time in the surf, especially when striper fishing. Anyone have a remedy to keep the red balls on the wire without sliding off? I was thinking of placing a small piece of heat shrink tubing on each wire to form a stop so the bead can not slide past.
Big box store purchase utility marker flags , spring steel, easily match the original cut to length. Strip plastic from any old wiring slip over the legs and one sputnik back up and running.
