ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for reducing the likelihood that a sinker or other weighting device on a fishing line will become snagged on underwater obstructions includes a hollow receptacle having a cross-section much larger than the cross-section of the sinker. A relatively small aperture is provided in the leading portion of the receptacle, and a large aperture is provided in the trailing end. The fishing line passes through the small aperture in the receptacle to engage the sinker which is inserted into the receptacle through the large aperture. A plurality of elongate, flexible, resilient whiskers project outwardly from the leading portion of the receptacle. The whiskers fend the receptacle off of the underwater obstacles, and the large size of the receptacle minimizes the chances that it will become snagged on such obstacles.
