Bullet Weights® Adds Full Line of Spin Sinkers for Salmon Fishing

ALDA, Neb. – Bullet Weights® has added a full line of Spin Sinkers that includes ten different weight sizes. Spin Sinkers are popular among salmon anglers who employ the age old method of salmon fishing called “mooching.” Mooching is a slow drifting technique used in back eddies away from the tidal current. The banana-shaped Spin Sinkers have a barrel swivel attached on one end and a four-bead string swivel on the other end that allow the attached bait to mimic wounded prey. “Our goal is to continue to offer the largest selection of sinkers of any manufacturer,” Bullet Weights President Joe Crumrine said. “By adding a full line of Spin Sinkers, we are able to give salmon anglers another choice of weights to use in specific applications. Having several options of weights has become more and more important to anglers as they try to get specific in bait presentations.” Spin Sinkers will be offered in the following sizes: ½ oz, 1 oz, 1 ½ oz, 2 oz, 2 ½ oz, 3 oz, 5 oz, 6 oz, 8 oz and 10 oz. Headquartered in Alda, Neb., Bullet Weights is a leading manufacturer of fishing sinkers and accessories. They offer fishing sinkers made of lead, steel (Ultra Steel), tin (Ultra Tin) and brass. Bullet Weights products are available in sporting goods stores and sporting goods departments of mass merchants. For more information visit www.bulletweights.com.

(Editor’s note: Spin Sinkers are packaged in 5-pound bulk boxes and sold individually by tackle dealers.)
