Just about to start
« on: 01/31/22 15:49 UTC »
I'm just about ready to start making my own sinkers. I generally use egg sinkers, so I'm ok with them. I have seen guys using a weight that's like a trolling weight, but looks more like a drop shot, with 2 swivels. Is there a name for them?

Welcome to the Do-It forums Don.

The Crescent Sinker maybe? It can use the solid rings or the swivel/bead chain. Its on the bottom of page 43 in the paper catalog at the bottom of the page. Also can be seen in the on-line store's sinker section.

Okay I have the pot picked out, and and ready to order the EG-9-A egg sinker mold. I need a suggestion on a type of jig mold & hook size, to fish Gulp Mullet. I'm going to be targeting Flounder. I'm thinking the jig should look like a fish head?
If at all possible photo's would help.
