Seahorse #5 Large Bean Sinkers are simple, honest terminal gear for when you need weight on the line without bulk. Size 5 bean sinkers suit general bait work in estuaries, harbours and breakwalls where current up to around 1 knot can push lighter rigs around. With 12 sinkers in the bag, you can rig a few spare leaders and still have backup when the snags start claiming gear.

Each bean sinker runs a straight hole through the centre sized for common mono and braid up to roughly 1.2 mm diameter, so they slide on and off standard rigs without drama. The compact oval body keeps the weight concentrated, which helps your bait hit bottom quicker over 3–8 m of water. The full bag sits nicely in a tray compartment about 10 x 8 cm, keeping the setup tidy and ready to get out there again.

Q: How many rigs can I set up from one bag?

You can set up to twelve rigs if you use one sinker per rig. Many anglers rig a few spares before they leave home and keep the rest in the bag. That way you can swap leaders fast after a bust-off. The twelve-pack size works well for a full weekend without overloading the tackle box.

Q: What style of rig suits bean sinkers best?

Bean sinkers are most often used on running rigs with the sinker sliding on the mainline above a swivel. This layout lets the bait move a little while still keeping it near the bottom. The central hole in the sinker makes that setup straightforward. It also helps when fish pick up the bait and move off without feeling much resistance.

Q: Are these sinkers suitable for both boat and shore fishing?

Yes, this size and style of sinker suits both boat and shore work. From a boat you can use them to hold baits near the bottom over inshore reefs. From the bank they help cast unweighted baits a bit further. The compact bean profile works nicely around structure where space in the rig is tight.

Q: How should I store the sinkers between trips?

You can store the sinkers in the supplied plastic bag or shift them into a tackle tray compartment. Keeping them together prevents them from rolling around the rest of your gear. Many anglers label the compartment with size information for quick grabs. Dry storage also helps keep the bag tidy and free from salt residue.
