FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers 12g

FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers 12g — Reliable Weight for Versatile Rigs

The FTM Tropfenblei (drop sinker) is a staple in any angler's tackle box — and for good reason. This 12g drop-shaped lead sinker sinks fast, casts true, and keeps your rig anchored where it needs to be.

Fast, Stable Sink to the Bottom

The compact teardrop profile cuts through the water column efficiently, reaching the bottom quickly and minimizing drift. Whether you're fishing a still lake or a slow-moving river, the 12g weight provides enough ballast to hold position without over-anchoring light presentations.

Built for a Wide Range of Rigs

Few sinkers earn a permanent spot in the tackle box like the classic drop shape. Its lead-grey finish blends naturally in most environments, and the compact form fits inline, running, and paternoster rigs alike — making it a go-to for coarse fishing, feeder setups, and general bottom fishing across a variety of species.

Choose the Right Variant

The FTM Tropfenblei is available in multiple weights and pack sizes to match your target species and fishing conditions. Choose lighter versions for delicate presentations in calm water, and heavier ones when distance, current, or depth demands more ballast.
