ABSTRACT:
An improved fishing line sinker which contains at least two additional passages forming passages inclined downwardly in the body of the sinker in addition to the loop passages for attaching the sinker to a fishing line. The two additional passages located in the conventional fishing line sinker provide a means for threading the fishing leader line through said sinker body and thereby provide a positioning location of safety for a fishing hook normally attached to the one end on the fishing line leader as the hook end of the fishing hook is placed into one or more of the passages. In another embodiment, a cylindrically shaped fishing line sinker containing at least three passages is provided for threading of the fishing leader line to said cylindrical sinker, said cylindrical sinker being made of conventional nonbuoyant material which is plated with chrome or nickel to serve as a jigger in addition to being a sinker; a useful embodiment for particular kinds of fishing.
The combination of hook, line and improved sinker as provided herein is also an embodiment of the invention providing a safe and efficient fishing tackle means whereby during storage and transportation the fishing hook is retained with one of the passages of the sinker body.
