Kids Stuff - Sinkers

Michael Bok takes a look at sinkers

What are sinkers and what do they do?

When I first started fishing and received nothing but a small amount of pocket money each week, I used to scrounge through Dad’s shed and grab any large nuts he had and use these as sinkers. Old spark plugs were also good sinkers.

Colour – Does it really matter?

Perhaps the question most commonly asked by anglers is, ‘What lure should I use?’ Fortunately there is some logic involved here and, with time, choosing a lure becomes less of a riddle. You learn that a diver is totally impractical in a shallow stream. On the other hand, you accept that wobblers only function when used at a speed which keeps them close to the surface – of little use when you are targeting fish down deep.
