"The Clipband" Clip-on Sinker
Made in USA
I caught a Walleye over 11 pounds the first time I tested my new sinker-rig!
I got tired of those expensive Clip-on Sinkers falling off while fight fish, or worse, they slide down my line causing line damage. I tried adding a rubberband to keep it from sliding down, but then this made the clip difficult to unclip costing me fish. A day came where a $6 dollar sinker just fell off and I had had it, I was determined to come up with something better.
After years of trial and error, I finally came up with a sinker that not only works, but also works better and for less money! And it catches more and bigger fish with its bouncy action!
This is not a complicated method, it is easy to use, instead of clipping the clip to your line you just add a rubberband to your line and clip the sinker to the rubberband. When you unhook the sinker, you just reel the rubberband right through rod-eyes and into your reel.
Works great trolling Crankbaits and Spinner-rigs! Just feed out the spinner rig about 30 feet, then attach the rubberband and clip the clip-on sinker to the rubberband and then drop it to the bottom. This gives you plenty of time to unclip as the fish is still 30 feet back.
This rig is fully weight adjustable, just slide-on slide-off. Any size egg sinkers can be added or removed by pulling and pushing weights on and off. I do have two sizes, the difference is the clip size, I use a larger clip for 2oz and up. The smaller 1oz cuts the water better and works great for smaller bodies of water.
No knots required - just loop R-band around line and pull tight, it only takes seconds and your fishing in no time.
Won't spin, twist or slide down line!
Fisheadtackle Trolling Sinkers walk on two legs to help keep it straight. Won't slide down and damage line.
Easy to clip and unclip and forgiving rubberband stretches while unhooking a big fish! This is a critical time and certainly not the time with a big fish fighting. I've had the boat rock from waves right when I was unhooking and it just stretches keeping the line from breaking, very user friendly.
Comes with everything needed ready to use, clips, wires, weights, instructions; Just cast out a crankbait, wrap rubberband around the line one end through the other and pull tight, then clip the sinker to the rubberband and feed out line.
Clip to boat carpet while not in use; this thing has unbelievable benefits, theres just nothing but good, one good thing after the other.
Bouncing action in waves triggers more fish! The rubberband amplifies the jerking action, which helps get those blades spinning giving all baits and lures more action!
Won't spook fish with the small diameter wire, small clip and the weights are painted in nuetral colors to keep the sinker as it should be, discrete low visibility.
Low water resistance; small gauge stainless steel wire cuts like a knife and fitted with an oval shaped lead weight for minimal drag.
Painted lead for your safety! Made by safety concerned fisherman for fisherman.
Convenient packaging fits in tackle box or in your pocket; The SS wire is such a small diameter it can be rolled up and put in a bag, then it springs back to shape when removed.
Just clip it to the boat carpet after unhooking and it will always is where you left it.
Fully illustrated instructions on the package but it's a simple in design and easy to use.
Extra strong American made Alliance Rubberbands with 12 pound strength; made in Ohio.
Tested by Fishermen for years; Everyone I took fishing on Lake Erie will tell you how good the sinkers work, and they agree there is nothing else that works so well.
Best of all - the price! Because it is so simple in design, the cost is only a fraction of what other clip-on sinkers costs.
Additional Benefits:
Keeps bait free of debris, (weeds, algae, grass, cottonwood, Mayflies etc.); Have you ever picked up a blade of grass and had to reel in a twisted mess of fishing line and tackle? Maybe it tangled with other rods after running in circles causing even more line loss because it's not possible to untangle it? I use a clip-on sinker just to keep my bait clean for awhile longer when the surface has crude like bugs by just dropping it below the surface and it doesn't affect where my crankbait is running except I don't need to feed out as much line, yet another benefit. Just let the sinker ride just under the surface to keep baits free and running true.
This means no more long lining! This sinker helps keep your line in the water saving hundreds of wasted feed out; Here's why - the distance between your rod tip and the water's surface is wasted line. This can be hundreds of feet. Add a clip-on sinker and cut this down to 10 feet. It does not affect the depth of the bait if it's kept just under the surface for fishing shallow, so its basically just keeping your bait clean and running true. Then if your lure does happen to spin from debris, you won't lose as much line since there is no more long lining (twisted braided line can't be fixed if it twists up too much, that’s why I don’t use it, but for those who do use braided line, this helps save you lots of money).
Easily hop over shallow areas by reeling it up to rod tip makes using clip-on sinkers an even better idea. If your pulling a few Crankbaits and the depth goes from 40 to 10 feet, just reel the sinker up to the pole until you pass, then feed it back out, no need to unhook the sinker rig.
Acts as line memory; The rubberband marks the line because it is never removed, and when you feed your rig back out the rubberband will come out in the same place it was before the fish, getting you back to the same exact depth.

How-to
1. Feed out lure about 30 feet or anywhere between 3-50',
2. Wrap R-band around line by inserting one end through the other and pulling tight;
3. Attach Clip-on Sinker by clipping it to the rubberband;
4. Drop sinker to bottom, pull awhile and drop once or twice more depending on how close to the bottom you want to be.
5. Catch fish, unhook sinker when it comes up, ignore R-band and reel it through rod and into your reel while fighting the fish.
6. Feed out line until the rubberband comes out, then attach sinker. This makes a good line marker.
