I've swapped all shots to these now..
Fox Edges Kwik Change Pop Up Weights.. you secure them onto your rig with a fine rubber tubing.
They don't come off or damage your hook link

The elastic should have come with it,it might be tucked inside the outer rim of the box

Mine is 👍

As philip says the elastic is tucked under a plastic cover on the outer of the round tub the weights come in

Yep absolutely...especially if you have an old spool of the Kerplunk that came in a right old mix of colours on a huge spool.....the lead wire in this is thicker and less likely to snap when you wrap it around the hooklink than the likes of ESP etc.

I also then just wrap a little bit of putty around it - it grips amazingly well, and as Mark says, the lead wire never comes off.

If you run out of the elastic at some point just buy pole elastic to replace it, unless you want to buy the Fox stuff that is, pole elastic is far cheaper

I see you have a solution now, but I'd have just put some shrink tube over the shot, can't come off then!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
