A fishing sinker apparatus is provided for a Texas rig-type fishing lure assembly. The apparatus includes a convexly tapered weight member having a relatively pointed leading portion, a relatively broad trailing portion and an axial portion that extends through the weight member from the leading portion to the trailing portion. A helical element is attached to the trailing portion of the weight member and extends axially a relatively short distance therefrom for provisionally screwing the weight member to the lure. A tubular element is mounted in the axial opening and includes a collapsible segment that extends from the trailing portion and through the helical element for slidably receiving a fishing line and protecting the fishing line from the helical element. The helical element has an inner end that is spaced apart from the tubular element and further has a substantially uniform diameter that is sufficiently large and a length that is sufficiently short such that the hook of the Texas rig may be pulled within the helical element to collapse the collapsible segment of the tubular element and release the weight member from the lure. In this fashion the sinker is converted from a fixed sinker to a slip sinker.
