Quick take
3-ounce lead egg sinkers designed to minimize spooking in rivers and currents without feeling the sinker weight.
South Bend's 3-ounce egg sinkers come five to a pack, with an oval body that works well when the bait needs to hold near the bottom in moving water. Anglers after bass, perch, catfish or walleye can use them for rivers and currents, where the weight keeps the bait in place without a heavy anchor effect. The design is meant to let a fish take the bait without feeling the sinker, which can help when a fish is wary.
Best for
- River and creek fishing in currents
- Live bait presentations for catfish and walleye
- Bottom rigs that need moderate weight
Skip if
- You fish very heavy cover; a bullet weight works better
- You fish saltwater regularly; bronze finish rusts quickly
Strengths
- Egg shape minimizes felt weight and spooking
- Smooth shape slides easily through weeds and rocks
- 5-pack provides extras if you snag or lose weights
Trade-offs
- 3-ounce weight is heavy; unsuitable for light line or small fish
- Lead corrodes in saltwater over time
- Egg sinkers don't have line-piercing holes like split shot
