Bullet Weights® Torpedo Sinker

Now Offered In Ultra Steel®

Bullet Weights® popular Torpedo Sinker has been added to the Ultra Steel® product line to give anglers the opportunity to utilize the fishing performance advantages of steel.

 

Because of its cylinder shape and round ends, the Torpedo is much less likely to hang up or snag - making it a logical choice for drop shotting, Carolina rigging and mojo-style fishing. It has greater sensitivity than lead- you can feel even the slightest vibrations, and it produces more sound than brass.

 

Because of the extra sensitivity steel offers, anglers can get a better feel for what type of bottom they are dealing with. Steel also won't deform like lead can when it hits structures like rocks, docks or stumps."

 

The shape of the Torpedo also allows it to cast easier, and because the front and back are identical, users don't have to worry about putting it on their line the wrong way. Ultra Steel Torpedo Weights come in six sizes (1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 and 3/8 oz) and are available with rubber pegs.

 

Bullet Weights Ultra Steel products are non-toxic, environmentally friendly and accepted as a lead alternative in states where certain size lead sinkers have been banned. And the best news is it's comparably priced to lead!
