Survival fishing weights

[BDG]

I would tie the string bag on if I was that desperate, save the hook.

The thing is, you want a weight to be as dense as possible as it is not just holding the line but holding itself also - the larger it is, the more tide and current will take it.

For a decent supply of weights, beads and so on, walk the rocks on the low spring tides, you find loads of stuff. Obviously do not reuse hooks, line or suspect swivels, but you can get loads of terminal tackle like that.
