Abstract:
A releasalable sinker for attachment to a fishing line having a lure or bait attached thereto. The releasable sinker has a sinker body and a disengageable attachment member disengageably attached to the sinker body. The disengageable attachment member is attached to the fishing line. The sinker body has first and second angled engagement channels for disengageably receiving springable legs of the attachment member. As the sinker body becomes snagged, the springable legs of the attachment member pull free from the engagement channels so that the disengageable attachment member will disengage from the sinker body without the fishing line breaking. Thus, the lure or bait can be retrieved, even though the sinker body has been lost.
