Guide to Choosing the Right Fishing Weights

Selecting the appropriate sinker depends on water conditions and fishing depth. Here's when and why to use each type from the attached range:

Egg Sinkers

• 2 oz to 4 oz (60g-120g): Ideal for calmer waters or when you need a steady sink. These work well for bottom fishing in lakes or estuaries.

Breakaway Fishing Weights

• 3 oz to 7 oz (88g-190g): Best for surf fishing or fast currents. The prongs hold the sinker in place, preventing it from being swept away.

Split Shot Sinkers

• Mini Split Shots (0.5g-2g): Perfect for precision, lightweight rigs in shallow water, commonly used for targeting smaller fish.

Consider your fishing conditions and target species when choosing the appropriate sinker.
