Quick take
Rubber dragging weights with colliding beads inside and rotating swivel for drifting catfish rigs.
These bullet-shaped dragging weights are made for catfishing and trolling, with a black rubber-covered body over steel shot and a barrel swivel that turns freely through 360 degrees for quick rigging. Six sinkers come in one pack, and the beads inside knock together as they move through the water. Anglers who drift bait along the bottom will find them a practical pick for their rigs.
Best for
- Drifting and dragging for catfish in rivers

- Still-water techniques
- Finesse presentations
Strengths
- Steel beads inside collide as weight moves, attracting catfish
