Bullet Slip Sinkers

"Texas Rigging & the Slide"

The Bullet Slip Sinker was originally designed for Texas rigging of plastic worms. Put the sinker on the line, tie on the worm hook, thread the hook into the worm, and let the sinker slide down to the head of the worm. This presentation puts the worm in a vertical presentation, with the bait in a natural state and the hook in perfect position for a solid hook set. Want another great use for this sinker? Saltwater anglers who fish for albacore use theses sinkers to fish the slide. The slide is the time when the boat shuts down power after a trolling jig strike to get the troll fish reeled in. Knowledgeable anglers will drop a bait back quickly during the slide to catch schooling albacore that follow the troll hooked fish towards the boat. These anglers put the bullet slip sinker backwards above the hook, with the tapered end facing the hook, and the flared end facing the angler. The flared end of the sinker catches water and puts the bait back to the fish quicker. It also breaks the plane of water around the bait (usually fragile anchovies), helping the bait stay on the hook and alive.
