flat bank sinkers

who uses them?
I am going to go to these with the idea of breaking off the weight when I get hung up and only loosing my weight instead of yards of power pro !
there is a weight slider made to go on your line that you tie a leader of lesser lb test than your main line to in the event of weight hang up you break off the weight leader.
this is the slider

what does everyone think?

I Have Know Roll Sinkers, But I Need To Get Me Some Of Them Sinker Slides But There On Back Order Right Now So I Will Have To Check Back With Them.

you can get them at bass pro also

I like the sinker slides but have a different type that just come unsnapped when you get hung up. , plus with these you don't have to untie your swivel to put them on. I put them on with the closier toward my pole and they work great. They are made of stainless steel I believe.

nevr seen them , where do you get them?

Pappy I use those exact same sinker sliders. Have used them for years. There is one problem that I have found with them though. I bought a new "Do-it" sinker mold last year for three ounce bank sinkers. The eye's in the sinkers are too thick to go into those snaps on the sliders. So now I have to find some bigger snaps and replace the ones that came on the sliders. I had a whole package of about 100 or more big stainless snaps that I used to use for Sturgeon fishing, but can't find them. And I've looked all over the internet and in catalogs and I can't find any big enough for my sliders. I'll find some somewhere one of these days I hope.

Jim I am going to use a 50 lb leader on the swivel to the weight so it want make any difference!!

I get them from Cabela's in; swivels, snaps and clevises. if the wieght is to big to fit I just put a mono leader on it and it fits then, I don't know how big of a sinker they will hold but they are great for around here.
