    Default Looking For Help On A Sinker


    What is the type of sinker you use most that is "No Snag?"

    the bullet sinker? small & pointing on the end toward your rod tip as you reel in? If not I use them and don't have no snag/hangin problems.

    For no snag, especially in heavy cover put two bullett sinkes back to back. Very good for fishing tree tops.

    I like bank sinkers and bell weights. 1 to 2 ounce size. Usually tied to 15-20 pound test line. If (when) I get a hang, I just lift the brush pile, then relocate the brush about 20 feet. Line usually comes loose in this maneuver.

    Like cane pole use a bank sinker. But thread the line through it. Then put 2 split shots below it and a knot below them in the line. If you hang bad. just pull hard and the split shots will slide off and allow the sinker to drop.
    Then easy and fast to rig back up.

    its usually the hook that hangs and not the sinker if i hang up in brush i will then hang a big sinker on my line with a snap and send it down the line and it will knock the hook lose if not then just jig up and down a bit and it will come loose.

    Try an egg sinker. I make 1/8th - 3 oz ones to use in freshwater and salt water.
