Quick take
Curved flexible sinkers designed to slip past brush and snags when dragging or bottom-bouncing for catfish.
This Catfish Sumo Slip Stick is a pack of five curved, pencil-shaped dragging sinkers at 3 oz each, aimed at catfish anglers who drift, troll or bump the bottom. The slick, flexible shape is meant to slide past brush, rocks and stumps, and the removable snap clips onto a 3-way swivel or comes off for use with a sinker slider. It suits Santee slip, Carolina and 3-way rigs where you want to work close to structure.
Best for
- Fishing structure-filled catfish water
- Dragging large baits near logs and stumps
- Bottom-bouncing through rocky areas
Skip if
- You need to fish open bottom without snagging
- You fish shallower water where sinker slips freely
Strengths
- Curved shape deflects off obstacles without hanging up
- Slick finish slides past brush and rocks easily
- Removable snap lets you switch between rigs
Trade-offs
- Heavier sinkers don't cast far
- Lead in exposed water can leach; best for catch-and-release areas
- Pencil stick shape performs poorly in current
