ABSTRACT:
A fishing sinker is provided for aligning a fishhook so that the main barb of the hook is directed toward the upper or lower portion of a fish's mouth, thereby decreasing the likelihood that the hook will be pulled sideways through the opening in the fish's mouth created by the sinker. The sinker includes a generally conical body having an elliptical cross section with front and back portions that are wider than its side portions, and a locking portion to secure the fishhook in a predetermined orientation with respect to the body. When the fish bites the sinker, the body rotates so that the front and back portions of the elliptical cross section of the body are generally parallel to the upper and lower portions of the fish's mouth. By securing the fishhook so that the main barb extends substantially perpendicularly away from the front and back portions, the main barb will be directed toward the upper or lower portions of the fish's mouth.
