Quick take
Lead bell sinkers with stainless swivels for smooth bottom fishing presentations.
This is a pack of five 3 oz lead bell sinkers, each with a swivel on top to keep line twist down. The bell profile suits casting out and sitting on the bottom, which is the usual setup for catfish, carp and bass. A heavier weight like this one holds in deeper water or stronger current, and it works in both fresh and salt water.
