Bank sinkers are a critical tool for anglers who engage in bottom fishing. These weights are used to help anglers cast their line to the desired depth and keep their bait in place, amongst various underwater terrains. TackleDirect presents an extensive selection of sizes for every fishing need.
The Tapered Hexagonal Shape of these sinkers is specifically designed to prevent snags in challenging environments. This unique design allows for smoother retrieval of the line without disturbing the underwater habitats or losing the sinker. TackleDirect's comprehensive range spans from lighter 1/2 oz sinkers to hefty 40 oz options, catering to both casual anglers and deep sea fishers.
To ensure compliance with environmental regulations, it's important to note that several states have laws restricting the use of certain types of sinkers. Restrictions on shipping lead sinkers to particular states stem from efforts to protect wildlife from lead poisoning. Before making a purchase, customers should verify the local regulations regarding the use of lead sinkers to avoid any inconvenience during the order process.
