Quick take
A round lead sinker with brass eye for easy rigging, designed to drop straight without tumbling.
This is a round cannonball sinker from Bullet Weights in the 8 oz size, made of lead. A brass eye at the top makes it simple to rig, and the round shape drops straight down with little resistance. It suits trolling setups for salmon and steelhead, and it comes as a box of 10.
