Does anyone on here still make their own sputnik sinkers? Haven’t been able to find any at the tackle shops lately. Would love to buy some if anyone is making or selling. Let me know!

So Joe on this site (Jaws) used to make them, but has turned photography and I don't think makes them anymore. I use to use a guy from NJ who would literally get them out to you asap. I mean from order to in your hands in 3 days or less, but I can't find him on ebay anymore and I think he might have went in for surgery.
I hope someone on here chimes in with some intel for you. In the meantime, I'll try to reach out to Wil and see if he's still making them.

So, my Sputnik maker had major surgery not long ago and is easing up on any production at the moment. I reached out to him this morning to see if he's still fulfilling orders and just waiting to hear back from him.

Thanks for reaching out for me. Really appreciate it! I did some more digging and found a website that is selling all kinds of sputniks even some gemini’s for cheap $3.99 for the 6oz I picked up a dozen so we will see if/when they show up. Still interested in more especially if they are made by a local fisherman!

Hope Wilbur is OK :'(

I just heard from him. He was recovering from Sx and was overwhelmed with orders and there was a lead shortage all of a sudden. He's going to reinstate his store on eBay sometime in September.
I'm glad he's okay.
