Fishing sinkers and weights are important pieces of tackle used in fishing to help cast the bait or lure to the desired depth and keep it there. Sinkers and weights come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are made from different materials, such as lead, steel, tungsten, or brass.
The most common types of fishing sinkers include split shot, egg sinkers, pyramid sinkers, bank sinkers, and bullet sinkers. Split shot sinkers are small and easy to attach to the fishing line, while egg sinkers are egg-shaped and slide easily on the line. Pyramid and bank sinkers are designed to hold the bait or lure on the bottom of the water, and bullet sinkers are sleek and designed to cut through the water to reach deeper depths.
Fishing weights, on the other hand, are typically used for trolling or deep-sea fishing. They come in different shapes and sizes, such as cannonballs, bell weights, and inline weights. These weights are designed to create additional drag and resistance, helping to keep the bait or lure at the desired depth and providing a more realistic presentation.
It's important to choose the right size and type of sinker or weight based on the fishing conditions and the species of fish being targeted. Always check local fishing regulations to ensure that the type and size of the sinker or weight being used are legal in the area where you're fishing. Additionally, anglers should be aware of the potential environmental impacts of using certain types of weights, particularly those made of lead, which can be harmful to wildlife if ingested.
