What Are Fishing Weights?

Fishing weights are pieces of metal that add weight to a bait, line, or lure to help get more depth on your bait and increase your casting distance. They are made from lead, tungsten, or steel depending on what kind of fishing weight you are using. When adding a weight to your setup it can help you target more specific species, adjust for water conditions like current, wind, and depth. Each type of fishing weight is designed for a different fishing technique whether you are fishing in calm lakes or fast moving rivers, fishing weights are a common and necessary piece of terminal tackle for many anglers.

Types of Fishing Weights

There are many different types of fishing weights, each specifically designed for a different purpose. Here is the breakdown of the nine most common fishing weights.

  • Split Shot :

    Slip Shot fishing weights are most used for finesse fishing and slight depth adjustments. The slip shot weight clamps down on the fishing line and can easily be adjusted and removed to fine tune your setup, and they are mostly seen used fishing for panfish, trout, or even bass when needing to adjust a rig.

  • Bullet Weights :

    Bullet weights are the perfect fishing weight for Carolina rigs and Texas rigs. They are ideal for bass fishing especially in heavy cover when combined with those rigs. Bullet weights are streamlined shaped weights allowing it to slip through vegetation without getting snagged and put at the end of a hook that is paired with a soft plastic.

  • Drop Shot Weights :

    Drop Shot weights are for vertical finesse fishing which is used to target suspended bas in deeper and clear water. Positioned at the end of the line, the bait is above the weight, offering a precise depth control to put your bait right in front of those suspended bass.

  • Tungsten Weights :

    A high-density alternative to lead, the tungsten weight is used by bass anglers who need compact and responsive weights. With smaller size, but the same weight, it transmits bottom feel better and is more eco-friendly than traditional lead weights.

  • Egg Sinkers :

    Egg Sinkers are for live bait rigs that need to frequently move, and mostly used for catfish, walleye, and some saltwater fish. Egg Sinkers work by having a line that runs through the center, allowing bait to drift naturally in the water while the weight stays on the bottom.

  • Bank Sinkers :

    Bank Sinkers are weights that anchor baits to the bottom, mostly used in rivers, lakes, and surf zones that have high current. They have a teardrop shape with a flat side to resist rolling the moving water.

  • Pyramid Sinkers :

    Pyramid Sinkers, mostly used for saltwater fishing, hold bait in the surf and strong current. They are pointed, and as the name says shaped like a pyramid, the point digs into sand or mud to keep the bait help in one spot in the water.

  • No-Roll Sinkers :

    As the name suggests, this is an anchoring rig that is for heavy current that doesn’t roll in the water. Commonly used for catfish and carp, the no roll sinker is a flat disc shape that resists movement in flowing water.

  • Nail or Insert Weights :

    Sometimes if you need to keep your soft plastic deeper in the water column, you can add a nail or insert weight. They are best for making finesse presentations heavier and is inserted directly into the soft bait to adjust fall rate and balance.

What Are Fishing Weights Used For?

Fishing weights are used by anglers to control and alter how baits and lures move in the water. By adding weight to your fishing line, sinkers help baits sink to specific depths, stay in place in moving water, and achieve a longer, more accurate cast. If you want to present a natural looking bait, fishing weights are essential especially in deep strong and windy waters. One of the most common ways to use fishing weights is putting a split shot onto some line a few inches above a hook with bait on it and a couple of inches below a bobber to suspend your bait in the middle of the water column.

The Best Fishing Weight Brands

When it comes to choosing the right fishing weights for sale, it can be a lot of information to take in. There are tons of brands that make fishing weights, so lets review our favorite at Fin Feather Fur Outfitters.

FAQs About Fishing Weights

What type of fishing weight should I use?

Anglers frequently ask which style of weight (split shot, bullet, egg, pyramid, bank sinkers) works best for different fishing scenarios like freshwater vs. saltwater, bottom fishing, or casting with soft plastics. See our breakdown above for what type of fishing weight you should use in what situation and water conditions.

How much weight should I use when fishing?

The amount of weight you should use when fishing depends on several key factors, including water conditions, fishing technique, bait type, and target species. In general, the goal is to use the lightest weight possible that still allows you to get your bait where it needs to be and keep it there.

Do fishing weights affect casting distance and bait presentation?

Yes, fishing weights significantly affect both casting distance and bait presentation. Choosing the right weight is crucial for delivering your bait effectively and making it look natural to fish. Heavier weights (1/2 oz to 2 oz +) will significantly increase casting distance, while a lighter weight (1/16 oz to ¼ oz) are better for short, more accurate casts.
