A sinker comprising a weighted body member having a relatively rigid bridle element pivotally connected about a transverse axis to the forward end of the body member, the bridle continuing as a relatively stiff or rigid leader including connection means for connection to a fishing line, and a resilient band connected between the trailing end of the body member and said connection means, said body member being pivotal about said bridle when striking an obstruction upon retrieval from a body of water and causing the resilient band to be tensioned whereby the body member "skips" or inverts over obstructions; and said body member including a flat "undersurface" whereby the rigid leader normally projects upwardly from the body member when the latter rests on the "bottom" to orient a fish hook above the "bottom.
