When a deep-drop rig has to descend through hundreds of feet of water, sinker weight becomes a critical part of maintaining depth and presenting the bait where deepwater fish are holding. With sizes from 1 to 12 lb, these lead weights let anglers adjust the terminal end of the rig for changing depth, current, and offshore bottom-fishing conditions.
Select the sinker size that fits your depth, current, and rigging requirements, then build the terminal setup around a dedicated heavy lead weight made for deep offshore presentations.
The weights are offered in sizes from 1 to 12 lb, giving you multiple options for matching the sinker to your offshore rig and fishing conditions.
They are intended for deepwater fishing for species including swordfish, golden tilefish, snowy grouper, queen snapper, barrelfish, and wreckfish.
Yes. RedSky Outdoor Gear lists these deep drop weights for use with electric reels and bottom rigs.
Each weight uses a molded loop eye that provides the connection point for your deep-drop rigging.
The appropriate sinker weight depends on factors such as fishing depth, current, and the rest of your rig. The 1 to 12 lb range provides options for adjusting the setup as offshore conditions change.
