Keeping your weights from sliding

Started fly fishing a couple years ago again.  I was at 20 mile last week for the first time this year and had a heck of a time keeping my weights where I wanted them, they kept sliding down to my fly.  I use 5x seaguar grand max for a tippet and about every 20 or so casts I would notice my sinkers would slide down.  I tried pinching them tighter and tighter so they would stay but I would just break off at that point on a hookup (I'm sure because I was crushing the line so much).  What you you guys do?  I was thinking about running the line through the weight twice but thought that would probably make a weak spot also.

two words..... super glue. works like a charm.

What brand shot are you using? some are much softer than others.

As Loomis mentioned, fluoro has a hard-slippery finish.
Try an overhand knot around a water gremlin lead type with tabs.
You can pull the knot loose with a pin,  hookeye cleaner or any thin object.

i use lead match sticks. pinch it down and it rarely slips. i also do what riverbum says and tie on the length of tippet i want and put the lead above the knot.
swivel on a leader?? might as well throw rooster tails and cleos while your at it!

Blackbird shot is very soft if you pinch just the open end w hemos it kinda wraps the shot around the line,

I've never found water gremlin to slip so much; but dona's advice with the weight behind the blood knot works like a charm... swivels???? Who cares if anyone thinks its taboo... it definitely will serve your purpose well...

Why would you use lead match sticks with a dry fly?

The best shot is dinsmores egg shot. Stay away from the cushion shot, it slides too much. The plain egg shot doesnt slide.

I've tried super duex, boss tin, and the other shot made for fly fishing, but nothing compares to the plain dinsmores.

leave extra long tag end when you tie on fly, attach shot to this with the knot technique above...

HAVE NEVER TRIED THAT.  INTERESTING THOUGH.  I FEEL THAT YOUD LOSE THE SPLIT SHOT EASILY ANYTIME IT GRABBED BOTTOM THOUGH.

This is effective in deeper water when you need to go deep, quick. Your suggested set-up is similar to "chuck-n-duck". Never used it on any Erie tribs but quite often in Michigan for Kings. Use of bar lead with parachute casing reduces the snag effect.
