FTM Tropfenblei mit Schlauch Sinkers 4.5g Drop

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

The FTM Tropfenblei mit Schlauch (Drop Sinker with Silicone Tube) is a versatile classic for everyday angling — built with a built-in silicone liner that keeps your line protected under pressure.

Internal Silicone Tube Protects Your Line

Unlike bare lead sinkers, this drop weight features an integrated silicone tube running through its core. The line passes through this cushioned channel rather than bare lead, reducing wear, preventing kinking, and extending the life of your mainline or leader — especially important when fishing repeatedly over rocky or structured ground.

Versatile Drop Shape for Varied Conditions

The classic teardrop profile makes this sinker easy to cast accurately and allows it to settle naturally on the bottom. Whether you're float fishing, ledgering, or running a simple bottom rig, the aerodynamic shape casts cleanly and holds position without unnecessary rolling. At 4.5 g, this variant suits light to medium freshwater setups where a delicate presentation matters.
