1.5 oz egg sinker 5lb

1.5 oz · 5lb bulk box

The half-step between the 1oz and the 2oz — and the one anglers reach for more often than either once they have it in the box.

The sliding design is what makes it work. Line runs free through the sinker, so a snook or a red picking up the bait feels no lead at all and does not drop it before you come tight.

An ounce and a half holds a live bait down in moderate tide without deadening it, which is exactly the range where 1oz starts washing back and 2oz starts pinning the bait to the bottom.

The egg shape rolls over shell and rock instead of wedging. The 5lb box is far cheaper per sinker than buying packs.
