BNR Steel STICK Fishing Weights 1/4 Oz With the success of the original design, Dave&';s Tangle Free has engineered a new design - built to bring a new technical advantage to the lead-free sinker market. Dave&';s stick weights are lead-free with numerous advantages. These weights are made of uncoated stainless steel, with a moving swivel up-top to provide telegraphic sensitivity with the energy of steel. This design speaks to the legacy of pencil-lead and slinkys, but with increased sensitivity and the energy of steel. This means that drop-shot, drift, bobber-dog, float and bottom-bouncing techniques can be accomplished with these new snag- and tangle-resistant fishing weights.Tungsten, lead and tin are all used often in the fishing world. But lead is notorious for snagging the bottom, tungsten can be highly expensive and tin doesn&';t have the mass to get down. These stainless steel stick weights offer a major advantage over all three. The "pinball effect" ensures that the weight will keep ticking bottom and moving in a current, but will also get down quickly and stay in still water. High-performance. Lead free. Made in the USA.
