Abstract
A fishing line sinker which is composed of a block of metal one end of which includes an opening and the opposite end of which includes a protruding wire member. The wire member of one block of metal is to be inserted through an opening of a second block of metal to thereby connect together blocks of metal for increasing the weight of the fishing line sinker. Additionally, a mold is provided for making the sinker which takes the form of a pair of pivotally interconnected members each of which has a mold cavity. The mold cavities can be used in a connected arrangement or in an individual arrangement.
