Grapnel Wire Sinker Mould: A Fishing Essential

Grapnel or Claw wire sinkers serve as effective anchors for fishing rigs on the seafloor. They are effective in surf / reef fishing / pierย  fishing.

You add wire arms that will penetrate the bottom to secure the bait. Rememberthese wires must bend or "trip" and fold back when a fish bites or during retrieval to prevent the sinker from becoming snagged.

How They Work

  • Anchoring:ย  When cast, the sinker's wires spread out and embed themselves into the sand or reef, firmly anchoring the bait in a designated spot, even amidst strong currents.
  • Retrieving: If a fish is hooked, the wires are designed to fold back and detach from the bottom. This enables you to fight and retrieve the fish without the sinker becoming stuck.
  • Sinker Reuse: After a successful catch, the wires can be reshaped for the next cast.

When to Use Grapnel Wire Double Sinkers:

  • Surf Fishing: They provide a robust anchor for your bait on sandy seabeds.
  • Reef and Structure Fishing: The wires assist in positioning the bait near structures like bridge pylons, while allowing for easy retrieval without snagging on the reef.
  • Strong Currents: They help maintain your bait in the strike zone or in fast-moving water, where traditional sinkers might be washed away.
  • Long Casts: The slender wires offer excellent casting distance, particularly in comparison to other types of anchor sinkers.
