FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers 16g

FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers 16g — Reliable Weight for Versatile Fishing Rigs

The FTM Tropfenblei (drop sinker) is a staple in every angler's tackle box — a dependable, compact lead weight that keeps your rig exactly where you want it. This pack contains 3 pieces at 16g each.

Fast, Stable Sink to the Bottom

The classic drop shape is engineered for efficiency: it cuts through the water column quickly and settles firmly on the bottom. Whether you're fishing a still lake or a moderate current, the aerodynamic profile also aids a smooth, accurate cast without tangling your rig.

Versatile Across Rigs and Techniques

The teardrop form integrates seamlessly into a wide range of standard fishing setups — bottom rigs, feeder assemblies, and float systems alike. At 16g, it provides enough weight to anchor effectively in slightly flowing water or at moderate depths, making it a practical all-round choice for coarse and predator fishing.
