Lead Masters Torpedo Sinker Weights

Lead Masters Torpedo Sinker Weights give Southern California saltwater anglers a straightforward way to get bait down to the fish. Made locally in Southern California, these USA-made lead weights have brass attachment ends on both sides for multiple rigging styles, from bottom-fishing dropper loops to tuna sinker rigs.

Get Your Bait Down, Not Swept Away

When drift and current keep your bait above the zone you want to fish, choosing the right sinker weight helps you regain control of the presentation. Keep several sizes ready so you can adjust as depth and conditions change rather than forcing one weight to do every job.

These are a staple for halibut, rockfish, white seabass, calico bass and ocean whitefish. Choose them when your setup calls for an attachable weight with an end connection, rather than a sliding sinker threaded directly onto your line. They add useful rigging flexibility, but they are not a substitute for selecting the right weight for the day's conditions.

From Dropper Loops to Tuna Sinker Rigs

Use a dropper loop or reverse dropper loop for bottom-oriented bait presentations, or incorporate a torpedo weight into your tuna sinker rig when you need to fish below the surface. Match your leader and hook to the bait, target species and rig. For leader material, consider Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader; for a heavier circle-hook setup, consider Owner Super Mutu Circle Hooks.

Best for: saltwater bait fishing, dropper loop rigs, reverse dropper loop rigs, tuna sinker rigs, and targeting halibut, rockfish, white seabass, calico bass and ocean whitefish. Carry a range for changing drift, current and fishing depth. There is no single ounce size that is right for every trip.

Tackle Express Tips

• Bring adjacent weight sizes. Moving up or down one size is often more useful than trying to fish the same sinker through every change in drift.
• Use enough weight to reach and manage your intended depth, then reassess when current or boat drift changes.
• Count individual sinkers, not just packs, when preparing for a trip. Quantities vary by size.
