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.

Best for

  • Salmon and steelhead drift fishing
  • Trolling where precise depth control matters
  • Rigs requiring a small footprint below the line

Skip if

  • You need weedless sinkers for heavy cover
  • You fish extremely shallow water under 5 feet

Strengths

  • Round shape drops vertically, holding position in current without drifting sideways
  • Brass eye resists corrosion and allows smooth knot attachment
  • High count per box suits anglers who fish regularly

Trade-offs

  • Lead requires careful handling to avoid environmental contamination
  • Round shape provides no grip for placement in rocks or roots
  • Weight options are limited to standard increments
