FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers 4.5g

FTM Tropfenblei Sinkers 4.5g — Reliable Weight for Versatile Rigs

The FTM Tropfenblei (drop sinker) is a staple in any angler's tackle box. This 4.5g variant comes in a pack of 10 and delivers the stability and sink rate you need across a wide range of fishing setups.

Fast, Reliable Bottom Contact

The compact teardrop shape cuts through the water column efficiently, reaching the bottom quickly and holding position even in moderate current. Whether you're legering, float fishing, or building a running ledger rig, the streamlined form reduces resistance on the cast and keeps your bait exactly where you want it.

Versatile Across Species and Techniques

At 4.5g, this sinker sits in a sweet spot for light to medium general fishing. It pairs well with finesse ledger rigs for roach, bream, and perch, and works just as effectively on bottom-fishing setups for trout in rivers or still waters. The lead-grey colour blends naturally in most environments without spooking wary fish.

Choose the Right Variant

The FTM Tropfenblei range covers a broad weight spectrum to match different casting distances, current strengths, and target species. Select the weight that fits your rod rating and conditions:

• 1.5g × 10 — ultra-light float and finesse rigs, slow-moving water, small species

• 3.5g × 10 — light ledger and float work, still or gentle flow

• 4.5g × 10 — light-to-medium all-round ledger rigs, rivers and still waters, roach/bream/perch/trout

• 5g × 10 — medium all-round use, slightly stronger currents

• 7g × 7 — medium ledger rigs, moderate river flow

• 9g × 6 — heavier bottom rigs, stronger flow or longer casts

• 10g × 5 — medium-heavy setups, barbel and larger species

• 12g × 4 — heavy ledger work, fast rivers, carp or tench

• 16g × 3 — long-range or heavy-current bottom fishing

• 18g × 3 — demanding river or surf-style bottom rigs

• 20g × 3 — maximum weight option, long-range casting, powerful currents
