Bass Casting Sinkers: Hand-Poured Lead with Brass Swivel

Bass casting sinkers are the go-to weight for anglers who need to hit bottom fast without getting hung up on every rock and oyster shell down there. The tear-drop bell shape is aerodynamic enough to punch through a 15 mph headwind, and the round profile slides over structure instead of wedging into it. Each sinker is hand-poured right here in the USA by Epic Fishing Co. and fitted with a brass swivel at the top so your line stays twist-free under load. We stock 10 sizes from 1/2oz up to 8oz, and every size comes in singles or money-saving 10-packs. Whether you're bouncing bottom for flounder inshore or dropping down on snapper offshore, these sinkers get it done.
  • Hand-poured in the USA by Epic Fishing Co. for consistent weight and quality
  • Brass swivels rated 35-75 lbs keep your line twist-free under heavy loads
  • Aerodynamic bell shape casts farther into wind than flat or irregular sinkers
  • Round profile resists snags on rocks, shells, and submerged structure
  • 10 sizes, singles and 10-packs from 1/2oz finesse to 8oz deep drops

Epic Fishing Co Deep Drop Weights - Hand-Poured Lead Sinker - Tilefish Grouper Snowy
David F.
Perfect measurements and weight

Used this differently than its intended design. I made raft oars counter balances from them. Previously used steel 4lb mounted on the exterior near the grips. These I was able to install into the shaft and at 5lbs was able to get the weight away from the grips. Both oars took about 30 minutes. Another bonus is the seller got the weights to me in 4 days vice 12 Amazon predicted.

great bonito bait

Used these jigs this week and crushed the bonito on the east coast. This is a good bait to mimic the small bait fish in our area. Also great pack for a 2 pack. I bought a few different colors.

Awesome bait for Hybrid striped Bass.

Purchased these and first trip out boated several very nice Hybrids. The fish were in 5-7lb range. The bait falls fast and the hooks are very sharp for solid hook ups. Glad I had an extra one because I gave it to my buddy in the boat and he immediately hooked up. These baits worked so well, I ordered several more. I also referred several of my friends to the site to order this bait.

Hit Bottom Fast, Snag Less

You know the feeling. You're on a hot bite, fish are stacked on a ledge, and you lose three sinkers in a row to the same rock pile. That's what happens with cheap, irregular weights that wedge into every crevice they touch. Bass casting sinkers solve that problem with a smooth, round bell shape that deflects off structure instead of grabbing it.

The shape does double duty on the cast, too. That tear-drop profile is genuinely aerodynamic. When the wind picks up and everyone else is struggling to reach the strike zone, you're still putting your bait right on the money. Anglers fishing open beaches, jetties, and offshore wrecks notice the difference immediately.

Every sinker is hand-poured by Epic Fishing Co. in the USA. That means consistent weights, clean finishes, and brass swivels that are actually rated for real fish. The 1/2oz handles light inshore work for flounder and redfish. The 8oz puts your bait on the bottom in deep current where snapper and grouper live. Everything in between covers the rest.

Hand-Poured Lead, Brass Swivel Construction

Every bass casting sinker is hand-poured in the USA for consistent weight and a clean finish with no rough edges to fray your line. The brass swivel molded into the top is rated from 35 lbs on the 1/2oz up to 75 lbs on the 8oz. That swivel eliminates line twist when your bait spins in current or on the drop, which means fewer tangles and more time fishing. Cheap sinkers use stamped steel eyes that rust after one saltwater trip. These brass swivels hold up trip after trip.

Aerodynamic Shape That Resists Snags

The tear-drop bell profile does two things really well. First, it's aerodynamic enough to cut through headwinds that kill your distance with flat or oddly shaped weights. Second, the smooth round profile slides over rocks, oyster bars, and reef structure instead of wedging into gaps. You'll lose fewer sinkers per trip, which adds up fast when you're fishing hard bottom. Compare that to a pyramid sinker that's designed to dig in, or a bank sinker that can roll into crevices. The bass casting shape is purpose-built for minimal hang-ups.

10 Sizes from 1/2oz to 8oz, Singles and Bulk Packs

We carry 1/2oz, 3/4oz, 1oz, 1.5oz, 2oz, 3oz, 4oz, 5oz, 6oz, and 8oz so you can dial in the exact weight for your conditions. Light current inshore? Grab the 1oz. Ripping tide on a deep wreck? Go 6oz or 8oz. Every size is available as a single starting at $0.83 or a 10-pack for serious savings up to $21.99. If you bottom fish more than a few times a year, the 10-packs pay for themselves in one trip. Check our sinker weight guide if you're not sure which size fits your setup.

How to Choose and Use Bass Casting Sinkers

Step 1: Pick your size based on current and depth. Use 1/2oz-1oz for calm inshore water under 15 feet. Use 2oz-4oz for moderate current or depths to 60 feet. Use 5oz-8oz for strong current, deep structure, or surf casting. If your bait drifts off the spot, go up one size.

Step 2: Tie your bass casting sinker to the bottom of a fish-finder rig or a knocker rig using the brass swivel eye. The swivel keeps your mainline from twisting as the sinker swings in current. For a sliding setup, pair with an egg sinker instead.

Step 3: Cast and let the sinker hit bottom before engaging your reel. The aerodynamic shape lets you throw into wind without losing distance. Feel for the "thud" when it lands, then tighten up and wait for the bite.

Step 4: Work structure confidently. The round bell shape deflects off rocks and shells rather than wedging in. If you do feel a snag, a steady pull usually frees it. Jerking hard is what buries sinkers in crevices.

Step 5: Stock multiple sizes. Conditions change through the day as tides shift. Carry at least 3 sizes so you can adjust without re-rigging your whole setup. The 10-packs make this affordable.

What size bass casting sinker should I use? +
Match your sinker to the current and depth. Use 1/2oz to 1oz for calm inshore water, 2oz to 4oz for moderate current or deeper spots, and 5oz to 8oz for heavy current, deep wrecks, or surf casting. Our sinker weight guide breaks it down by species and situation.
What's the difference between bass casting sinkers, bank sinkers, and egg sinkers? +
Bass casting sinkers have a tear-drop bell shape with a brass swivel that resists snags and eliminates line twist. Bank sinkers are similar but use a molded eye instead of a swivel, so they're simpler but can twist your line. Egg sinkers are oval with a hole through the center for sliding rigs where you want fish to take the bait without feeling weight.
What does the brass swivel on a bass casting sinker do? +
The brass swivel lets the sinker rotate independently from your line, which eliminates line twist caused by current, bait spin, or the sinker swinging on the drop. It's rated from 35 lbs on the smallest sizes up to 75 lbs on the 8oz. That's strong enough for serious bottom fishing targets like grouper and snapper.
Why does hand-poured matter for sinkers? +
Hand-poured sinkers have consistent weights and smooth finishes with no rough edges or seams that can fray your line. Mass-produced imports often have flash lines, uneven weights, and poorly attached hardware. Every bass casting sinker is poured in the USA by Epic Fishing Co. and inspected before it ships. Read more about sinker quality in our lead vs tungsten breakdown.
How much do I save buying the 10-pack? +
The 10-packs give you significant per-sinker savings compared to buying singles. If you fish bottom rigs regularly, you're going to lose sinkers to snags, and that's normal. Buying in bulk means you're not wincing every time you break one off. Check the variant dropdown for exact pricing on your size. Our surf fishing guide covers how many sinkers to bring per trip.
Can I use bass casting sinkers in saltwater? +
Absolutely. The brass swivels resist corrosion far better than steel, and lead doesn't rust. These sinkers work great for saltwater bottom fishing, whether you're targeting redfish inshore, flounder on nearshore structure, or snapper and grouper offshore. Rinse them with fresh water after use and they'll last until you donate them to the reef.
Why do bass casting sinkers snag less than other shapes? +
The round bell profile has no flat edges or points to catch on rocks, oyster shells, or reef crevices. It deflects off structure rather than wedging in. Compare that to pyramid sinkers which are literally designed to dig into sand and hold position. If you fish rough bottom with lots of structure, the bass casting shape saves you money in lost tackle.
Should I use lead or tungsten sinkers? +
For most bottom fishing, lead is the practical choice. It's a fraction of the cost of tungsten, casts well, and gets the job done. Tungsten is smaller for the same weight, which matters for finesse bass fishing with tiny jigs, but for general purpose sinkers in the 1/2oz to 8oz range, lead wins on value. We break down the full comparison in our lead vs tungsten article.
