Our Ball Sinker Moulds create Ball Sinkers that are essential tools in fishing due to their ability to:

  • enhance sinking rates
  • facilitate longer casts
  • flexible rigging, keeping bait close to the bottom while adapting to current movements.

Their versatility allows them to be effective:

  • in both fresh and saltwater environments
  • for various setups, including the running sinker rig. 

This makes them a popular choice for general-purpose bait fishing.

Key Uses for Ball Sinkers from our Ball Sinker Mould:

  • Running Sinker Rig: Thread the line through the sinker for free movement. This setup enables fish to take the bait without sensing resistance, increasing your chances of a catch.
  • Weighting the Bait: The sinker adds necessary weight to ensure the bait and hook reach the desired depth. This can be adjusted by selecting different sizes of sinkers.
  • Casting Distance: The shape of the ball sinker ensures excellent aerodynamics, allowing for long and stable casts.
  • Anchoring the Bait: In certain rigs, a ball sinker can be paired with a swivel to keep the bait anchored in a specific location while still allowing slight movement with the current.

Considerations When Using Ball Sinkers

  • Mobility: Due to their shape, ball sinkers can roll easily on the bottom in currents or sloped surfaces, potentially shifting the bait from the intended spot or causing snags.
  • Sinker Weight: Choosing the appropriate sinker weight is vital and should be based on conditions such as tide, current, water depth, and the species you aim to catch.
  • Rigging: Depending on your fishing strategy, you can rig a ball sinker as a "running" sinker or secure it in place.
