Abstract
Disclosed is a lead-free fishing sinker and a method of manufacturing. The sinkers are constructed from a combination of colored grout and a countertop mix having a superplasticizer additive. The mixture is about 60% colored grout and 40% countertop mix having a super plasticizer additive. A liquid mixture includes a 50/50 mixture of water and latex additive to be added to the dry mixture. Steel pellets are placed within the admixture before placement into a cold mold to form any size or shape fishing sinker. The fishing sinkers can be made of most any shape and include a receptacle for holding simulator skirts or dry chum pellets.

- admixing said dry mixture and said liquid mixture to form an admixture having a consistency similar to pancake batter;
- adding steel pellets to said admixture;
- forming a mold in the shape of a desired sinker and coating the mold with a liquid latex rubber mold liner;
- placing said admixture with steel pellets into said mold;
- allowing a set-up time of about 3 hours and removing the formed fishing sinker from the mold and curing for about 24 hours.
A fishing sinker comprising:
- a base formed from a mixture consisting of grout, countertop mix having a super plasticizer, water, liquid latex additive, and steel pellets;
- and at least a portion of a mild steel wire included in said base.
A fishing sinker comprising:
- a base formed from a mixture consisting of grout, countertop mix having a super plasticizer, water, liquid latex additive, and steel pellets;
