Quick take
A stainless steel stopper that locks split-shot weights in place on float rigs and sliding rigs.
The Daiwa Hard Sinker Lock in size M is a stopper that keeps a sinker from sliding along the line, a common need on Texas rigs and similar setups. Each pack holds 18 pieces, and the M size is rated for line from 8 to 30 lb. Its stainless steel grip sits on the line where the stopper is set.
