Ball Sinkers
Ball sinkers are a versatile sinker that come in many sizes and have many applications. We primarily use them when wanting a running sinker that will allow the bait to move around within the target fishing zone.
We rig them to run either directly onto the hook or stopped short of the hook by use of a swivel and length of leader separating the sinker from the hook.
We use ball sinkers are often in many styles of fishing with both live and dead baits, including estuary, surf, and fishing from a boat both.
