Quick take
Lead egg sinkers with a center hole that allows line to slip freely, designed for bottom rigs and Carolina-rig fishing.
Best for

- Catfish bottom fishing in rivers and lakes
- Surf fishing where weights stabilize rigs against current
Skip if
- You need weights with fixed attachment points
- You target species that feed in the water column
Strengths

- Compact egg shape minimizes resistance in current
- Wide weight range supports every bottom-fishing technique
Trade-offs
