Round lead cannonball sinkers with stainless steel eyelets for trolling, downrigging and deep bottom fishing in fresh and saltwater.
Dr.Fish's round cannonball sinkers are lead weights with a stainless steel ring on top, sold here as a three-pack of 12 oz sinkers for trolling, downrigging and deep bottom fishing. The round shape drops straight down and suits salmon, walleye and steelhead in offshore water. Each sinker is engraved with its weight, so the number on it tells you what you are clipping on.
