No roll all the way.

No roll

bank fishing=bank sinker- 4-5 oz.

I use 3oz disk sinkers in snaggy areas. When wind & current are high I use 3oz breakaway surf sinkers. This is on my 8ft ugly sticks.

2-3oz no-roll.

I've started using bank sinkers that I have put on my anvil and flattened out. They cast good and seem to hold well without getting stuck on stuff. I did this at first because bank sinkers are cheaper and easier to find in the sizes I like but now am using them because I really like them.

I also do the same with egg sinkers. I put a rod in them before I flatten them then pull it out. I first did this when I was catfishing in a small creek using light spinning gear and wanted some 3/8 and 1/2 oz no roll sinkers. They worked fine so I just started doing it to all sizes. The stores around here just don't carry a good assortment of weights. they are so fixated on bass tackle that catfish stuff is just sort of an after thought.

I would think you would want something flat for better casting. Lately I’ve been making my own dragging weights for use while drifting.

I agree with these comments...and sometimes must make my own equipment.

I do like the no rolls for most fishing situations, but not all.

MonkeyPuncher maybe this can help you.

My table vice is about to see some action this weekend; great idea on flattening those cheap sinkers into a no-roll shape.

I have a bulk pack of 1oz pyramid sinkers that I might try and flatten a bit, too.

School me on the no-roll..... thanks

Thanks serj, I saw Teri making the paracord weights, I’m gonna try that next. I tried the eggsinkers and beads vs. no roll, lost 2 rigs with the egg sinker draggin weights, no rolls I was able to unsnag.
