These bulk packets of ball sinkers are excellent value for money. Ball sinkers are popular for running sinker rigs, where the main line is threaded through the sinker and left unattached, so it can move more freely. They are often positioned either running directly to the hook, or restricted to running along the main line above a swivel connection. Ball sinkers are ideal when fishing current in fresh or saltwater when you want your bait rig to move around, covering more area, but while keeping the bait near the bottom.

Sizes 00 to 2 are ideal for most general estuary fishing types. Sizes 3 to 6 are ideal for most surf fishing types. Sizes 7 and larger are ideal for offshore reef fishing. There are exceptions for these size recommendations, but these are the most popular and frequently used for each style of fishing due to currents and water depths.
