Quick take
Lead bank sinkers in teardrop shape, designed to prevent hang-ups in structure and hold bottom in current.
This is a set of six lead bank sinkers in the 8 oz size, a classic weight for holding bait on the bottom. The teardrop profile and flat-sided hexagonal body suit rocky bottoms and moving water, and the eyelets are filed smooth to go easy on line. Anglers fishing saltwater or freshwater for catfish, pompano, croaker or halibut can rig them for bottom fishing or free-drag setups.
