Weights with size markings?

[Quailtail]

I saw somewhere and I think it was on this forum where there was a link to weights with the size molded in the weight such as 1/4, 1/2 etc. May have been tungsten weights. Can't remember. Anyone have a clue as to what I am referring to?

What kind of weights are you referring to. Most all lead weights has the size on them

They were cylinder shaped drop weights as would be used in long lining. They had a hook on the end to tie onto or use a snap swivel as I recall.

Do you mean drop shotting ?

You mean something like these :


I've seen a lot of weights with the "weight" stamped into the side of them ... egg shaped, torpedo shaped, pyramid shaped, blade shaped, and even some banana shaped weights. I don't, however, remember seeing any "cylinder shaped" weights having the weight stamped on them. A lot of weights only have the weight of the product listed on the packaging.
