Hi,

Bought some steel Bullet Weights (from the Bullet Weight Co.) the other day.

Figured I would use them for my Carolina Rigs, which I like.
Also, possibly for some Texas rigs.

Haven't been into fishing for a few years, and I guess these things have
changed.

kind I always purchased had a simple hole thru the center.

These have a wire clip pre-assembled into them.

There is a small loop that protrudes on the somewhat pointy (convex) end.

But, in the internal cavity at other larger end there is another loop.

It's extremely small, and into the cavity too far to be able to thread
anything thru it, or attach anything to it.
Perhaps it's only purpose is to prevent this wire assembly from pulling out
?
So, let me ask, please:

How are these things supposed to be used ?
How are they supposed to be rigged ?

Can I use them for Carolina rigs ? How ?
Or did I just buy the wrong type ?
Are the old fashioned designs with just a hole still made ?

Any thoughts would be ap[pr
Thanks,
Bob



Sounds like you bought Bass Casting Sinkers, not slip sinkers.
