Sinker design

[Mouldz]

Are sinkers for R$S not designed incorectly,as in the drawing the conventional shape is in effect a nice wedge and the harder you pull the more tightly it will wedge itself in the bricks ,also aerodynamically it offers a lot more resistance than if it were moulded the other way around,just wondering

Weight distribution needs to be at the front (bottom of the weight) for the weight to travel straight. Without wings to stabilize flight, the weight would spin or wobble in the air if weight distribution was reversed. That would probably increase air resistance with an uneven distribution over the projectile affecting the flight of the weight, most likely sending it off course.

True ,did not think of that,the best design would probably be a ball

Ball would be the best design if you were fishing in a pond with no currents or tides or waves?

Jaccil how does a cone fly though? ive never bothered looking. Seeing as the majority of its weight isn't at the bottom?

Mouldie design your sinker like the anchor that gets stuck but breaks loose on the stuck end and you then pull it out from the other end.
I want 50% of the profits.

I tried this once and it seems to work

Yoh, I thought I had an original thought there

I'm gonna try that as well, have much more toothpicks than sinkers.

Mag dalk net werk!!! Laat ons weet.

Take these little screw in eyelets and screw that into the bottom of the sinker to attach the line
