Bored rigid split shot sinker

摘要

A sinker for attachment to a fishing line includes a generally spherical, generally rigid solid body having a radius and first and second generally V-shaped radial slots in the solid body, each of the slots having opposite end portions. The radial slots are arranged generally opposite one another on the body and each radial slot further includes a base having a transfer extent sufficient to accept at least two runs of fishing line side-by-side. A bore hole having opposite ends extends through the body and connects the first and second radial slots. Finally, the ends of the bore hole and the end portions of the radial slots are contoured such that fishing line running through the bore hole and radial slots will not become frayed or kinked resulting in a loss of line tensile strength.
