Bank Sinkers, 5 LB Bag

🏋️♂️ Bank Sinkers: Reliable Weight for Bottom Fishing

Bank sinkers are teardrop-shaped fishing weights with a hole at the top, designed to help your bait reach and stay at the bottom of lakes, rivers, or surf zones. They're a favorite among catfish anglers and bottom fishers for their simplicity, versatility, and effectiveness.

🧲 Primary Uses of Bank Sinkers

• Bottom Fishing: Keeps bait anchored in place, especially in moderate current or deeper water

• Long Casting: Their streamlined shape allows for longer, more accurate casts

• Rig Versatility: Commonly used with sinker slides, dropper loops, or three-way rigs

• Stability: The teardrop design helps prevent rolling or drifting on sandy or muddy bottoms

🛠️ How to Rig a Bank Sinker

• Sinker Slide Setup: Thread the sinker onto a slide, allowing it to move freely above a swivel and leader

• Direct Tie: Tie the sinker directly to a dropper loop or bottom of a three-way rig

• Snap Attachment: Use a snap swivel for quick weight changes without retying

⚖️ Choosing the Right Weight

Bank sinkers are a go-to choice for catfishing, surf fishing, and pier fishing. Their ability to hold bait in the strike zone without drifting makes them essential for targeting bottom-dwelling species.
