Description

Often known as the "Poor Man's Downrigger", Slip Weight Sinkers make an excellent substitution for this pricey piece of hardware. These weights are designed to slip and clip onto your mainline and then release and slide down to your flasher or lure for ease of fight. The Slip weight sinker can be clipped in at any desired spot and won't get in your way when you have a fish on the line. Each package contains 1 piece.

Field Notes

This is a slip-on sinker used to add weight to a mainline and help get a lure or flasher down in the water column. It’s useful when you want a removable, low-profile weight that can slide out of the way during the fight.

Pros

  • Easy to clip onto the mainline
  • Slides out of the way during the fight
  • Simple, inexpensive downrigger substitute

Cons

  • Not a lure, so it adds no action
  • Weight size not specified in the listing
