To complete each Egi, you'll need the following components or recycled/DIY alternatives and a bit of CA glue or Epoxy:
Link to Weights https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32803528779.html Use 3.5 size weights and cut away extra lead untill fits your style, more floaty or more deep.

Or recycle them from old egis, the hole will fit bigger weights (13mm long X 3mm width) or even flat stones, it's also easy to make your own with lead.
2-3 cm hairs from an old brush for the side fins or recyle them from an old egi.
Permanent markers to add Colors.
๐ง๏ธ Waterproofing:
While the Egi can be used without waterproofing, we recommend sealing it for optimal performance. Without waterproofing, water may enter the Egi at certain depths, affecting its weight and movement. To address this, you can:
Seal with Epoxy or UV glue for enhanced waterproofing.
If unsealed, drill small holes in the bottom to flush out water after each cast.
Alternatively, fill the Egi with polystyrene balls through a drilled hole for buoyancy.
