I just use the same gauge wire as I use for the grippers. Smoke them in a candle flame before you start to stop them sticking. Pull them out with pliers when the mould has just set.
If the holes are a bit tight when the sinker is cold (to combat this, don't pull the wires out too soon), just twist a wire into the hole with a bit of hand pressure to open it out a bit.
