Quick take
Lead-free alloy steel egg sinkers in a range of weights for bottom rigs and float fishing.
Best for
- Anglers avoiding lead for environmental or health reasons
- Sliding sinker rigs that need to move freely along the line
- Bottom fishing in both fresh and saltwater
Skip if
- You need extremely precise weight accuracy
- You fish waters where the glaze coating matters less than raw holding power
Strengths
- Non-toxic alloy steel composition passes California Proposition 65 certification
- Glaze surface is harder and smoother than lead, reducing snags
- Smooth center hole minimizes damage to fishing line during use
Trade-offs
- Alloy steel is slightly less dense than lead, requiring slightly heavier sinkers for the same depth
- The glaze coating can scratch and wear with extended use
- Weight range may not cover every situation a fisherman encounters
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
- Saltwater
- Techniques
