	Offshore Tactics by Capt. Randy Rochelle
		Slip sinkers are a great choice for snapper that tend to be a bit spooky and will quickly drop on a bait if they feel the weight.
		One drawback to using a slip sinker when fishing with larger live baits in deep water is that as you start dropping the bait to the bottom, the bait will try and swim away from what ever it is dragging it down.
		Now the sinker is on the bottom but your bait is still 15 to 30-feet off the bottom and now where near the strike zone.

	The Sinker
		Sinkers of at least 2nd level can sift through the remains of an object or creature and determine what it was and how it was destroyed.
		The sinker can recognize a familiar creature or object, or gain enough of a mental image to describe the features of something, but the sinker could not read a note or distinguish between the features of two thin creatures.
		Sinker bonus spells are based on Charisma, and saving throws against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + the sinker's Charisma modifier.

	Single-sinker densimeter
		For density measurements, the sinker can be connected with a commercial analytical balance (Mettler AT 201, weighing range 205 g, resolution 10 μg) via a magnetic suspension coupling in combination with a sinker coupling and decoupling device.
		The electromagnet is attached to the underfloor weighing hook of the analytical balance and the permanent magnet is connected to the sinker in the measuring cell by means of the sinker coupling and decoupling device.
		It consists of the measuring cell containing the sinker, the magnetic suspension coupling, the analytical balance, an inner and outer double-wall thermostat, and a vacuum vessel for insulation of the two-stage thermostat.

	Attachment for fishing lines - Patent 4145833
		The sinker body can be mounted on the fishing line so the sinker body remains symmetrical with respect to the fishing line to thereby produce a weedless sinker that is always in alignment with the fishing line.
		For example, the line usually passes through the sinker in an off center position or the sinker's rounded stubby shape allows the sinker to catch on weeds as the sinker is pulled through the water.
		Located on sinker 70 are pressure pads 71 and 72 which have counterparts in the opposite half of the sinker (not shown) to firmly hold a line within sinker 70.

		Sinker Options - Bank sinkers are the appropriate choice for bottom fishing from an anchored or drifting boat because the rounded design minimizes the chances of snagging the rig on the bottom.
		The sputnik sinker, (not pictured), is another option for holding the bottom during rough surf conditions.

		When fishing sinkers are lost during fishing and drop to the bottom of the lake, they can be picked up by loons, or by waterfowl like ringneck ducks and trumpeter swans.
		As the lead sinker or jig is exposed to the acids of the stomach and to other pebbles, lead enters the bird?s system and slowly poisons the bird.
		Biologists have studied the effects of lead sinkers and jigs on water birds and birds of prey since the 1970s.

		Also when using a rig with the impact shield on it like the double dropper, the bait is nearer the sinker, again improving the aerodynamics.
		This sinker is a major step forward for the fisherman, and it does cast further.
		This sinker is ideal for covering ground with a rolling bait at long distance or for fishing when there is no current.

	A Guide to Modern Rigging
		A bullet sinker is allowed to slide freely on the main line, with the hook tied directly to the main line.
		Slip the sinker on the main line, tie the hook directly to the main line, and screw the sinker into the nose of the bait.
		Otherwise, if the eye is pressed against the sinker, gripped inside the fish's tightly-clamped mouth, then you only move the entire bass/weight/hook forward without penetrating on the hookset.

		When you use my sinker, you will find that it will remain on the drop off as it slices through the water, keeping it in the fish zone at all times.
		Slip Sinkers are just as practical when river fishing--providing the same advantage as backtrolling when lake fishing.
		But remember, the main idea I had when designing this sinker was to keep my clients bait in the fish zone longer, providing greater success for both the novice and pro angler.

	Let's get the lead out!
		While there are no bans on lead jigs and sinker use in Minnesota, tackle manufacturers, retailers, associations, sports enthusiasts and government are partnering to educate anglers about this issue and increase the use of environmentally friendly sinkers.
		In Canadian national parks and national wildlife areas, it is illegal to use lead fishing sinkers and jigs weighing less than 50 grams, a ban that went into effect in 1997.
		As with nontoxic shot, steel has been found to be an economical alternative to lead and in the case of sinkers for fishing, it actually has proved to outperform lead due to its hardness and resistance to deformation.

	Big Ten Tackle:CERAMIC SINKERS page
		Only Slip Sinker that is "Swivel Loaded," by extending the swivel out both ends, we designed this sinker to protect the line from fraying, twisting and tangling when hooking or reeling a fish.
		The main reason lead was used in sinkers was it was cheap and it weighed 11 times more than water, which also kept its size down.
		Ceramic is about 3 times as heavy as water so a ceramic sinker is about three and one half times larger than a lead sinker of the same weight.

		A proposal to ban lead fishing sinkers to protect loons and other wildlife has been introduced in the Minnesota Legislature.
		However, if convincing evidence can be produced linking lead tackle to loons' deaths, Barnett added that he would "happily throw away all of my lead sinkers." Barnett suggested if lead is an issue, jigs could be a bigger problem than sinkers.
		Perry agreed that jigs could be a greater concern, but noted that sinkers may be getting ingested more often because they resemble the pebbles that loons swallow to aid them in digestion.

	Pierandsurf.com - Opinions on this theory
		If it was not spread over time you would use up most of your energy trying to accelerate the sinker very early in the cast, and you would have a flat acceleration curve.
		It is easier to accelerate at the end of the cast and transmit energy to the sinker because you and the sinker and the rod have momentum.
		There is no longer any energy being transmitted to the sinker because the line is not attached firmly to the rod.

	Minnesota Conservation Volunteer: Tackling Toxic Tackle: Minnesota DNR
		Where lead sinker ingestion occurs, it is more likely that sinkers would be found in dead birds than in live, apparently healthy birds.
		Loons also appear to be picking up jigs and sinkers off lake bottoms by apparently mistaking them for pebbles, which they use to digest their food.
		Pokras says nearly all of the lead sinkers and jigs found in loons have been under 1 ounce; most are a half ounce or smaller.

	Salt Water Sportsman Magazine - Sportsman's Tips - Slide on, Sinker
		With setups that place a sinker, such as an egg sinker, directly on the main line, the thin-diameter line cuts into the soft lead — usually at the worst possible time — and could cost me a fish.
		To solve the problem, I rigged a "sinker keeper" with a foot of monofilament and a couple of swivels and beads.
		I use line that is the same strength or greater than the main line, double it and tie a double surgeon's knot, which leaves me with a loop a bit over four inches long — make yours as long as you like.
