Frequently Asked Questions
How do bank sinkers work?
Bank sinkers are designed to anchor your fishing line to the bottom of the water. Their tapered hexagonal shape enables them to grip the bottom, providing stability and preventing your line from drifting too much.
Why should I choose bank sinkers?
Bank sinkers are ideal for bottom fishing because their shape helps prevent snagging on underwater structures such as wrecks, reefs, and hard bottoms. This ensures that you can fish effectively without constantly getting your line caught or tangled.
What sizes of bank sinkers are available?
TackleDirect offers a wide range of sizes for bank sinkers, ranging from 1/2 oz to 40 oz. This allows you to choose the right size based on your fishing needs and the depth of the water you'll be fishing in.

Yes, certain states have laws prohibiting or restricting the shipment of lead sinkers and jigs. The restrictions vary by state, but generally, sinkers and jigs weighing 1 oz. or less may have shipping limitations. Examples include Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont.
