Quick take
Set of four 2-oz flexible pencil-stick weights with internal rattle for catfish trolling and drifting.
These 2 oz dragging weights come four to a pack in black alloy steel, shaped as a drop-style pencil stick that slides past brush, rocks and stumps without catching. Each weight holds several metal beads inside that collide and rattle as it trolls or bounces along the bottom. Removable snaps let you clip each piece to a 3-way swivel, or take the snap off and run it on a sinker slider. The heavier of the two sizes in this family, it suits catfish anglers who need the extra weight to hold bottom. The package lists a two-year warranty.

Common questions
What size are the kaleodam 2oz dragging weights?
Each weight in this set is 2 ounces, and the pack holds four pieces. They are built for drifting, dragging, trolling and bottom bouncing for catfish. The same line also includes a lighter 1 oz pack, so choose this 2 oz set when the lighter weight will not hold bottom in current.
Can the kaleodam 2oz dragging weight go on a 3-way swivel rig?
Yes. Each weight has a removable snap that clips onto a 3-way swivel, so the same piece works on a 3-way rig. If you remove the snap, the weight runs on a sinker slider instead. The swivel snap comes with the weight, and the flexible curved body is meant to slip past snags.
Is the kaleodam 2oz dragging weight snag-resistant?
The 2 oz weight has a slick, curved outer body and a flexible pencil-stick shape. The listing says this lets it slip past brush, rocks, stumps and trees without catching. Its internal metal beads rattle while it moves across the bottom, so it works for bottom bouncing as well as trolling.
