Egg sinkers are suitable for the classic cast and wait method, along with bottom bouncing while trolling or drifting.

They’re great for rigging up live baits because they’re very mobile.The sinker has a hole in the center, which you feed the main line through.

Once the line is through, attach it to the swivel.

Add a plastic bead at the top of the swivel to stop the sinker from destroying the knot by the weight running into the swivel.

Compared to other shapes, these sinkers pass over rocks and rubble with less resistance and are commonly used for fishing in currents and deep water.

Egg weights are oval-shaped sinkers used to make soft plastic baits sink to a desired depth. 

For weedless performance, few sinkers have a reputation like the famous egg sinker.
