ABSTRACT:
A fishing weight or sinker is disclosed which has an axis, essentially coincident with the fishing line on which it is used. The main body of the weight is comprised of a material having a specific gravity substantially greater than one, and includes an axial channel with a first cross sectional configuration extending from a first end thereof, and opening into an enlarged channel portion at a second end with a second cross sectional configuration. A bushing is exteriorly sized and configured for press fitted engagement within the length of the two channel portions and includes an interior screwthreaded fore portion extending from the first end to a tapered portion, somewhat inward of the second end which terminates in a keyhole slot opens radially outward at the second end in alignment with coincident slots opening radially outward through the length of the bushing and main body. A longitudinally slotted screw core including tapered inner end side portions is engageable in the bushing bore in a manner whereby a fishing line engaged therethrough may be selectively secured or released relative to the weight by proper rotational actuation of an outward extension of the core at the first end.
