FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers

FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers — Reliable Weight for Versatile Angling Rigs

The FTM Tropfenblei (drop sinker) is a staple in every angler's tackle box — a compact, lead drop weight that sinks fast, casts true, and keeps your rig firmly in place on the bottom.

Fast, Stable Bottom Contact

The classic drop shape is engineered for efficiency: it cuts through the water column quickly and settles with minimal fuss, giving you a stable anchor point for a wide range of bottom and ledger rigs. Whether you're fishing a slow river or a still lake, the aerodynamic profile delivers consistent, reliable performance on every cast.

Built for All-Round Fishing

Few weights are as universally useful as the drop sinker. It fits neatly into running leger setups, paternoster rigs, and float fishing arrangements alike, making it a go-to choice for targeting everything from carp and bream to perch and pike. The neutral lead-grey colour blends naturally in most water conditions.
