Quick take
Red plastic sinker slides with copper barrel swivels that allow weight to slide freely above the leader, detecting light bites while keeping the rig on bottom.
This 1.5-inch sinker slide threads onto the main line so a bank sinker can slide freely above a swivel and leader. The copper barrel swivel and clip-on design suit anglers rigging bottom baits for freshwater and saltwater species, and the pack holds 25 pieces. A free-sliding weight lets a fish take the bait and run without feeling the sinker.
