Re: Sinker size
Enclosed is response i gave to PaBeerGuy who asked same question in the classified section under sinkers for sale from Sam the Sinkerman.

Keep the light stuff home. One of the biggest mistakes people make when fishing offshore seabass trip is fish a light sinker. If you are using 6-10 oz sinkers when everyone else is using 16- 20 oz all you are going to be doing is tangling everyone around you and pissing people off. The more time you spend tangled means the less time you will actually have a line in the water fishing. Going heavier on sinker will not effect your catch negatively. This is not bucktailing for fluke or jigging for cod where lightest weight you can get away with can help increase your catch based on action you can impart on jig under certain conditions. With that being said I would order 14, 16, 20 and a few 24 oz sinkers. 16 and 20 oz will be most popular sizes. Just make sure rod you are using can handle the weight. Have also found longer rod to help in keeping out of tangles by keeping your line away from everyone around you. Go to classified section and give sam the sinker man a call as he has sinkers up to 24 oz and will take care of you right.
