DIY Dragging Sinkers

home made sinkers for the penny pincher

[@71160000]

You might want to consider flattening the end of the lead out with a vice. Drill a small hole trough it and then clip a clip swivel in the hole then heat shrink.

[@randywilson6869]

My first thought was it a wire on the swivel ran all the way to the other end

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]

You can't pull these apart let alone have one come apart under fishing conditions

[@elylesable]

Why heat shrink?Just leave the lead exposed.

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]

Heat shrink is what holds the swivel..and it keeps you from getting lead all over your hands and gear

[@217rebeloutdoors5]

that's a great idea I like it keep it up can't wait for the next video

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]

Update.... the 9.5" are 2.5 Oz, 14.5" are 4 oz

[@Frank-eg4mw]

Nice bro I would add bread tie on swivel and wrap it down the lead downward just for a lil more strength but thanks for tutorial

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]

I have never had one of these come apart....

What is the maximum distance of meter to throw from the beach for dragging weights ?

[@davidsettle8456]

What does dranging sinkers do for u

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]

They ride up and over obstacles. Don't snag near as much as other sinkers when trolling or dragging baits

[@MayCasterOutdoors]

Where u located?

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]

Near the corner of Rush,Shelby and Hancock counties

[@MayCasterOutdoors]

Where you at? Well make it happen sometime

[@MayCasterOutdoors]

@OUTDOORS in INDIANA with Dave Scott I'm in Howard County but got a cabin on the whiteriver in Mitchell Indiana

[@rickmcnicholas8364]

Straw floaters with a 2 or 3 oz Bank sinker on the bottom work much better and are a lot cheaper

[@fishin-impossible2992]

EVERYONE HAS AN OPTION. HIS IDEA IS GOOD

[@altair458]

What is a straw floater?

[@wayneferguson1324]

So when you cast I bet sometimes your sinker keeps going. Count .e out.

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]

You can't pull these apart. Never had one come off casting or snagged. I'll break 40# line and never had one come apart

[@luzgarcia9499]

Them swivels dont come out

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]

Nope. 40# line will break long before the sinkers

[@luzgarcia9499]

Ok Thank You sir try to make me some

[@luzgarcia9499]

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]
