Quick take
Lead egg sinkers in sizes 1/8 oz to 7 oz, with plastic core for line protection and quick bottom contact.
This is a pack of 15 lead egg sinkers in the 1/2 oz size, with a smooth oval shape and a plastic core that keeps the line from rubbing on metal. Egg sinkers slide on the line, which suits bottom fishing, drift fishing and live bait rigs in salt or fresh water. Anglers who rig on the bottom and want to keep a spare supply on hand will find the multi-piece pack handy.
