FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers 18g

FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers 18g — Reliable Weight for Versatile Rigs

The FTM Tropfenblei (drop sinker) is a cornerstone of any angler's tackle box. This 18g version comes in a pack of 3 and delivers the casting stability and bottom hold you need across a wide range of setups.

Fast, Reliable Sink Rate

The compact teardrop shape cuts through the water column quickly and settles firmly on the bottom. Whether you're presenting a bait in current or still water, the aerodynamic profile ensures a clean cast and consistent positioning of your rig.

Versatile Across Rigs and Species

At 18g this sinker sits in a sweet spot for medium-distance bottom fishing. It works equally well in leger rigs, paternoster setups, and running ledger presentations, making it a go-to weight for coarse, predator, and river fishing alike. The classic lead-grey finish blends naturally in most underwater environments.
