A Fishing Report That Describes Various Fishing Weights

A well equipped tackle box is what a master fisherman needs and fishing weight is the accessory one cannot forget. Fishing weights are superbly handy fishing tools which are heavy sinkers. These are mainly known for giving enough mass to a fishing line. As we all know, the weights are attached to keep the hook under water. This helps the cast to reach as deep as it wants and the fisherman can come up with deepwater big fishes. This fishing report will let you be familiar with the basic details and type of fishing weights. They are segregated according to their sizes and their usages as well.

Following are the types of fishing weights:

• The first that comes in to mind when we talk about fishing weights are split shot ones. As their name suggests, these are basically small ball-shaped sinkers and they are smartly devised in a split pattern from the middle. But they are not completely separated as there is a tiny edge connecting them. It is simple to use as well. One just needs to insert the fishing line in the ball in that split part and shut it down again. Split shot weights are available in various patterns but are relatively small from others. If you need a little more weights then you can use more than one split shots.

• There are a number of fishing reports that describes the dependability of rubber core fishing weights. These tools are longer and can slender in a better way than the split shots. Although both of them work in the same way. In case of rubber cores, these split from one side and on the other side there is a hinge of lead. The most interesting thing about these tools is that you can move them up and down without opening the weight from the line.

• In this fishing report this is important to let you know that worm weights are devised in bullet shape. And there is also a fishing hook attached on it. These weights are to be used with bait. This has to be remembered that these are made of plastic and that's why they need to be used with soft baits only. These are smartly contrived so that these can allow the lure to move freely and can attract the catches.

• The other pattern of fishing weights that are available in the market is known as pyramid weights. These have a four way pyramid shape so they are named in this way. Mostly used in surf fishing, these are really popular as they have a flat square base with an attached eyelet. These weights are available in various sizes and are mostly of 8 ounce. You can use them while fishing in sea as well.

• There are fishing reports that show that egg weights have helped number anglers to get good catches. These are oval in nature and are used for bottom fishing. These are usable in various kind of fishing as they are available in small and heavy weights. And you need to attach the weight to the main line to get the best results.

These are apparently most popular fishing weights and apart from them there are others in the line up as well. Together with every other fishing accessory, these weights will add an extra spice to the fishing that you will enjoy next time.
