Quick take

Plastic sinker holders that use a spring-loaded squeeze to hold egg sinkers in place on your line without pinching the line.

Carolina Keeper Holders from Charkbait are small red keepers that hold an egg sinker in place on your line, so you can skip split shot on a Carolina-style rig. You squeeze one with needle-nose pliers to open a slit, thread the line through, and slide it to the leader length you want. A set comes with eight pieces, and they suit bait fishing and bottom fishing.

Carolina rig fishing for stripers and saltwater bottom dwellers
Anglers who want to adjust sinker position during the day
