Remember the old mojo-style, cylinder-shaped sinkers - the ones that were ideal for Carolina rigging or split-shotting but have since been discontinued?
Well, VMC brought those style sinkers back in 2020 and made them better than ever. Because they are made of Tungsten, VMC’s new Slider Weight is smaller than the former lead version of equal weight, giving you a more compact package.
They were designed for a variety of uses, including the company’s Tokyo Rig. The sleeker sinker provides a more weedless presentation when dunking plastics into heavy vegetation.
But they also work great for Carolina rigging. The lead-free weights have a hole running through the center making them easy to peg to your line.
They come in eight sizes from 1/8 ounce to 1 ounce and are available through your favorite tackle dealer.
