FTM Tropfenblei mit Schlauch Sinkers 18g Drop

FTM Drop Sinker with Tube — Line-Friendly Bottom Weight for All-Round Fishing

The FTM Tropfenblei mit Schlauch (Drop Sinker with Tube) is a classic, versatile fishing weight designed to protect your line at every cast. This 18 g pack contains 3 sinkers, ready for a wide range of angling situations.

Built-In Silicone Tube Protects Your Line

At the heart of this sinker is an internal silicone tube through which your mainline or leader passes. The soft silicone cushions the line against the lead body, reducing wear, kinking, and pressure damage at the weight contact point — an important detail when fishing for hard-fighting species or using lighter lines.

A Versatile Weight for Many Techniques

The classic drop (teardrop) shape is a reliable choice for ledgering, float fishing, inline rigs, and general coarse or predator setups. The 18 g weight offers enough mass for casting at medium to longer distances and for holding bottom in moderate current — a practical middle ground between lighter finesse weights and heavier long-range sinkers.

Choose the Right Variant

The FTM Drop Sinker with Tube is available in a wide weight range to match different techniques, target species, and water conditions. Select lighter weights for gentle rigs and smaller species, heavier weights for distance casting or strong currents.
