I usually try to crimp it real tight with pliers, but it does not last long. It can be frustrating. They just do not make things as quality as they use to. I like your idea of putting in a bobber stop to keep the sinker from slipping. I will try it. What kind of stopper do you use because sometimes those slide on me too?

They used to make an elongated sinker that had rubber inside to help it hold the line better. Haven't seen any in years. I looked them up. Rubber core sinkers. Still available

Let’s not get off topic - this is all about the ribs!

I smelled those ribs all the way down in Fairfield Alabama. I sent a smoke signal "Are they done yet?" but I guess the smoke signal got wafted in the winds. Good job on those ribs. 800 racks is just awesome.

Look up "Rubber core sinker", they're still out there: Water Gremlin Rubbercor Lead Sinkers | FishUSA

That's from fishUSA



I used to use them all the time, but IMHO that rubber end will cause too much drag when trolling with them. Dono

* Doh, just noticed you did say "still available".

I had not used them. Too much drag would certainly be bad while trolling

Yes I remember those sinkers. Like previously said, you do not see them much anymore, however those are way to big for what I use.
