Traditional fishing sinker is usually made of lead, but in recent years, tungsten alloy has replaced lead for its high density and small volume.

Producing the same weight of fishing sinker, tungsten alloy fishing sinker uses 50 percent less material than that of lead, which means that tungsten alloy fishing sinker has smaller volume, and it’s easier to catch fish.

 

According to different shapes, tungsten alloy fishing sinker can be divided into worm fishing sinker, barrel fishing sinker, bullet fishing sinker, and teardrop fishing sinker, etc.

 

Worm fishing sinker: it is a kind of bullet fishing sinker. Compared with other traditional fishing sinker, tungsten alloy worm fishing sinker is smaller. And its shape can be maintained for a long time.

 

 

Barrel fishing sinker: generally 5~6 cm long, weight around 30 grams. Tie the knot in the middle to make the sinker fall into two parts. When fishing sinker meets an underwater obstacle, the angler can exert a little force, and the long section of the sinker can be flipped over. As barrel fishing sinker can cross the barrier, it’s suitable for the place where there are many stones and obstacles in the natural water.

 

Bullet fishing sinker: as it’s similar to bullets, and its body is very long, it has good stability. Furthermore, tungsten alloy fishing sinker’s surface is smooth, so it’s easier to go through the weedy area.

 

Teardrop fish sinker: small, light and artful, used for a small sea pole of more than one meter, can be thrown away 30 to 40 meters, and can catch small and medium-sized fish; or used for deep-sea fishing, fishing for predatory fish. It can be thrown quickly and sinks fast. It’s not easy to get tangled up in the bottom of the water.
