The TackleDirect Cushion Sinker is a fishing sinker designed with a unique flattened design that caters to anglers fishing in slow currents. By maximizing the contact area with the bottom, it ensures greater holding power, which is crucial for anchoring baits in calmer waters. Its effectiveness is particularly appreciated in areas where water movement is minimal, and precision is required in presentation.
TackleDirect offers the Cushion Sinker in a variety of sizes, allowing anglers to select from a range of weights (1oz to 4oz). Here's why this is important: the weight of the sinker affects how well the bait will hold in the current and how sensitive the setup will be to fish bites. With TackleDirect's selection, fishers can easily tailor their setup to the changing conditions of their fishing environment.
However, anglers must take note of state-specific regulations concerning the use and shipment of certain fishing gear. Here's a quick rundown of the state restrictions regarding the TackleDirect Cushion Sinker:
