Hi all there use to be a sinker made that you could put on your line without cutting the line, I think it was called "Jawa Sinker" but not sure. I also think that they were made in Australia saw a few in a tackle shop some years ago and were possibly made in New Zealand. What I know of them was they were a bean shape with a s sort of channel in them that you put the line in. Any info. on them would be great.

I have seen those sinkers you are talking about years ago too but I think they sort of went out of fashion or the novelty of them wore off.

Hi Charlie, I have used those Jara sinkers I have no idea were you can get them in NZ. The mould must have been a bugger to make. TT has a sinker called a Pinch On, it's listed on our website under sinkers. Hope this helps.

Hi Phill made some 5oz Bank sinkers for a charter boat at Whitianga. When the boat is anchored against the tide the current takes the line of those fishing toward the back of the boat so they use a sinker with a clip to add more weight but the light clip soon rusts. I mentioned those Jara sinkers said that they would be ideal as you can slip them on the line without having to take the other sinker off or cutting the line.

Try Nacsan of Taupo Charlie. Jara sinkers. Most tackle stores deal with Nacsan as a wholesale supplier. Im sure Phill would be able to track them down for you.
