Sinkers are the part of your terminal tackle that do just what the
name implies β they sink! Many fishos donβt think much about their
sinkers. They just put one on and hope for the best. But having the
proper fishing sinker in the proper weight can mean the difference
between fish and no fish.
Ball Sinkers
These Ball Sinkers are shaped for accurate casting especially
against the wind. They don’t hold the bottom well, but that’s in
their favour. Ball sinkers are meant to move around the water
currents. The bait drifts with the flow and is more likely to be
where the fish are feeding.
Bean Sinkers
Bean sinkers are popular for running sinker rigs where the main
line is threaded through the sinker and left unattached so it can
move more freely. They often preferred over ball sinkers because of
the twin attributes of being a good casting shape but with better
bottom-holding characteristics than the ball sinker due to the
bean’s flat sides. These sinkers are often positioned either
running directly to the hook or restricted to running along the
main line above a swivel connection.
Split Shot Sinkers
Split Shot Sinkers are ideal when fishing light in streams or
estuaries. They have a ‘split’ on one side that you fit your line
into and then you squeeze the sinker with pliers, closing the split
around your line to fix the sinker in that position. The sizes are
small enough that you might attach or remove several split shot
sinkers to achieve and/or maintain the perfect weight as conditions
change. Use them when float fishing to balance their floats and
hold the bait down where the fish are.
