Abstract
A slow sinking fishing weight is made from a material having a bulk density which is slightly greater than the density of water and includes deep surface channels that significantly increase its resistance to movement in water. The fishing weight has a sink rate in calm water which is less than one foot per second. The slow sinking fishing weight allows a person to more easily maintain the depth of the sinking weight and an attached lure while moving the lure through the water.
Claims20
A slow sinking fishing weight comprising:
- a body having a rounded exterior comprising:
- a central axis that extends from a front end to a back end of the body;
- a central plate that extends between the front end and the back end of the body, wherein the central plate extends from the central axis towards left and right sides of the body;
- a mounting hole configured to receive a fishing line therethrough, the mounting hole extending between the front end and the back end of the body along the central axis;
- top channels that extend from the top of the body towards the central plate;
- top projections located between the top channels;
- bottom channels that extend from the bottom of the body towards the central plate;
- bottom projections located between the bottom channels;
- wherein the fishing weight body is made from a material having a bulk density which is between about 1.08 g/cc and about 1.02 g/cc;
- and
- wherein the fishing weight has a sink rate in calm water which is less than about 30 cm per second.

A slow sinking fishing weight comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a central axis that extends from a front end to a back end of the body;
- a plurality of channels that each extend inwardly from an exterior of the body;
- a plurality of projections located between the plurality of channels;
- a mount which receives a fishing line to thereby attach the slow sinking fishing weight to the fishing line;
- wherein the fishing weight body is made from a material having a bulk density which is between about 2 percent and about 8 percent greater than the density of a water selected from the group consisting of fresh water and ocean water;
- and
- wherein the plurality of channels and plurality of projections comprise deep surface features that create sufficient resistance to movement through the water that the fishing weight has a sink rate in the water which is less than about 30 cm per second.
