Carolina rig (sliding egg sinker) & Spectra ?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

There is a type of egg sinker that has a slit in the side and a plastic insert that you twist to lock in the sinker on the line. This makes it easy to add and remove sinkers without retying hooks.

I bet the plastic piece has a similar effect as the beads in terms of protecting the line.

Hey J mo,

Is that 2 separate rigs in that picture, or are you putting that egg sinker between the hook and the hoochie?

Just curious,

Willy

This is what I like to use instead of an egg sinker. It slides great and never damages the spectra or knot. I like being able to easily remove the sinker when I want to fish the surface, need to change to a heavier sinker, or when I am done fishing there is no sinker banging against my rod while driving.

I found these at Squidco. Not sure who else might have them.

I found the slider connectors cioppino is referring to at Sport Chalet also. Their versatility is great; it is nice to be able to take the sinkers off going in and out of the surf and in the car, for fly-lining, changing weights, etc.

I use the sliders also but add a red bead at the knot.
