FTM Tropfenblei mit Schlauch Sinkers 12g Drop

FTM Tropfenblei mit Schlauch — 12 g Drop Sinker That Protects Your Line

The FTM Tropfenblei mit Schlauch (drop sinker with sleeve) is a versatile, classically shaped fishing weight built around one smart detail: a silicone sleeve inside the bore that cushions your mainline and prevents wear at the most vulnerable point of your rig.

Line Protection Where It Matters Most

Running line directly through a hard lead bore creates friction and micro-cuts that weaken mono and fluorocarbon over time. The internal silicone sleeve in the FTM drop sinker eliminates this contact point, so your line stays in full-strength condition cast after cast — especially valuable when repeatedly sliding and repositioning the weight on sensitive lines.

A General-Purpose Weight Built for Versatile Angling

The teardrop profile sinks quickly and seats well on uneven river and lake beds without rolling. At 12 g it sits in a practical middle range: heavy enough to hold position in moderate current or to carry a bait to depth efficiently, yet balanced enough for lighter rods and finesse presentations. Four sinkers per pack means you have spares for different rigs on the same session.
