A sinker, also known as a weight or fishing weight, is a small, dense object used in fishing to add weight to the fishing line or rig. The primary purpose of a sinker is to help sink the bait or lure to the desired depth in the water, enabling anglers to effectively target fish at various depths and fishing conditions. Sinker come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, each designed for specific fishing situations and techniques. Common types of sinkers include split shots, egg sinkers, pyramid sinkers, bank sinkers, and bullet sinkers.
