ABSTRACT:
A fishing sinker which may be rapidly attached to and removed from a fishing line. The sinker comprises a mass of high density material which is generally symmetrical about a given axis and which has a longitudinal bore extending along said axis. A radial slit joins that bore to the exterior of the mass. Completing the assembly is a molded plastic insert which is adapted to be pushed into the bore in the mass. The insert also has a slit extending approximately halfway through the radial dimension thereof, and the insert is sized so that it can be rotated within the bore of the mass. By aligning the slit in the insert with the slit in the mass, a fishing line may be inserted into the aligned slits and then, when the insert is rotated, the line is captured and precluded from falling out.
