Fishing Weights

Fishing Weights — Travento, Sliding & Luminous

TL;DR (Quick Overview):

• Sliding, fixed, and luminous fishing weights for all techniques.
• Travento models for long-distance casting and stable flight.
• Popular shapes: sphere, olive, drop and pyramid for current.
• Weight range for shore, bottom rigs, and trolling setups.
• High-quality materials built for durability and corrosion resistance.

Hook: The right sinker turns a good rig into a dependable system. Whether you fish from the shore, over reefs with vertical tactics, or troll along drop-offs, choosing a weight that matches your water, current, and target species brings control, casting accuracy, and consistent presentations.

What You’ll Find in Our Weights Category

The Tactical Aqua Fishing Weights range covers every common technique in the Mediterranean: handlines and petachtari, surf casting, vertical and bottom rigs, light boat work, even trolling paths along rocky islands. Each model is selected to balance flight, sink rate, and bottom contact, so you can reach distance, hold position, and keep your bait where fish actually feed.

Sliding vs Fixed — When to Use Each

Sliding weights are ideal when you want sensitivity to bites and natural bait movement. They allow the fish to pick up the bait with less resistance, so you see the take on your rod tip before the fish feels the load. Sliding setups shine in calmer water, with cautious species, or when you need to let a bait drift just a little with the current.

Fixed weights (in-line or clipped) provide control when current or wave action is strong. They pin your rig in the strike zone, maintain consistent depth, and prevent baits from wandering. Use them on surf beaches, river mouths, or any mark where holding bottom matters more than subtle presentation.

Travento — Distance and Stability

Travento weights are built for dynamic, straight flight and clean release off the rod. Their aerodynamic shape minimizes wobble in the air and slices cross-winds better than rounder designs, helping you hit long-range spots with accuracy. On the retrieve, they track predictably, reducing spin that can twist leaders. If reaching the outer bar or a distant channel is your goal, Travento is the dependable choice.

Luminous Models — See and Be Seen at Night

Luminous sinkers bring two advantages after sunset or in deep water: visibility for the angler and subtle attraction for fish. A gentle glow helps you monitor where the rig is and can make the bait stand out in dim conditions—particularly useful around harbor lights, piers, or when probing deeper ledges from a boat.

Shapes and What They Do

• Sphere: Compact, rolls easily; good for gentle bottoms and short casts where stealth matters.
• Olive/Drop: Versatile all-rounders with a clean sink path; great for many bottom rigs and light current.
• Pyramid: Bites into sand and resists current; a favorite for surf and tidal marks when you must hold ground.
• Specialty (dancer/“rolling” styles): Designed to move or release quickly from snags, useful on mixed or rocky bottoms.

Weights for Each Technique

Shore casting: Travento and pyramid styles cover distance and hold in shore breaks; pick weight according to swell and wind. Bottom rigs & vertical: Olive and drop patterns keep baits just above snag points and transmit bites clearly. Trolling: Streamlined shapes maintain depth without excessive drag; luminous models help check position at night.

Build Quality That Lasts

Our weights are made from robust, corrosion-resistant materials with smooth eyes or quality clips to protect your line. Finishes are chosen to handle knocks on rocks and the abrasion of repeated casting. From coating to core, longevity and consistency are the priority—because reliability session after session is what makes tackle trustworthy.

How to Choose the Right Weight

1. Match to conditions: Stronger current or surf requires heavier and/or pyramid shapes; calmer water allows lighter, sliding setups.
2. Think distance: For long casts, favor Travento shapes and weights that load your rod properly without over-stressing it.
3. Bottom type: Sand welcomes pyramids; mixed ground benefits from olives/drop that “walk” over rough patches.
4. Night or deep water: Luminous options help with tracking and subtle attraction.
5. Rod & reel balance: Stay within the casting range printed on your rod; a correctly matched weight maximizes accuracy and lifespan.

Quick Tips

• Carry two weight classes: one to reach your mark, one heavier to hold when the tide turns.
• Use sliding on finicky bites; switch to fixed when your bait won’t stay put.
• Rinse luminous models after use to preserve the glow coating.
