Premium Bass Casting Sinkers
Bell (also called bass casting) sinkers resemble a tear-drop
or bell shape with a brass loop or a lead eye at their tapered top. Line
can be fed through or tied directly to the eye. The eye is made of brass.
These sinkers cast well in the wind, making them a favourite
for shore anglers. The rounded profile of the sinkers also reduces its
chance of snagging. For boat anglers, bell sinkers are often used on a
three-way rig. This rig is designed to get baits deep without needing any
extra equipment, like downriggers. The rig consists of a three-way swivel
with one eye for the main line. The next loop holds a drop line with a
bell sinker at its end. Finally, the last loop holds a leader and a lure
or a live bait rig. The rig is effective when bounced along the bottom or
lowered to a desired depth and trolled in open water.
