misfish Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Apparently there is a inline/slip weight, pencil style weight on the market . BPS did have them, but sold out now . Asking as my son was looking for them to fish the Niagara. Has anyone seen these ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Do you mean like these Brian? https://www.jannsnetcraft.com/fishing-sinkers/345490.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Maybe Paul. I have not seen them, but he knows of them. They save on adding lots of shot and a streamer then the eggs shape ones. Thanks Now to find a retailer from the Geen to the Ganny to Niagara. Kid fishes every where.

OhioFisherman Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Those are like a texas rig worm weight, just no taper to them, I do think the tapered ones hang up more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Call Peter's Tackle in St. Catharines. They cater to the trout/river crowd and there's not much they don't have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 I use the rolls of hollow lead for that kind of fishing under a float. http://www.fishermans-marine.com/oregon-tackle-pencil-lead-wire.html And use a rubber dropper like on the left of this image when bottom bouncing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted September 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Well I found some on line local , also found a spool of it at Cabelas on Saturday. They had 1 spool of small. I used my old wire stripper ( largest hole ) to score the lead . Works perfect. Read how guys use dog nail clippers. Split the roll with my son . I want to try this as well. I think it,s going to much easier then putting on split shot. I also have access to a small scale to cut them in different gram sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted September 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Well I got to use the scale today. 2" piece of lead was 8 grams. So now I can do the math easy, to accommodate my float and bait. Funny how fast that roll got cut up. Need more, as I gave my son more then half it seems. 😁 Edited September 23, 2020 by misfish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
