Thanks for the responses. Blackfish feed both visually and by smell. Do not want him to notice my shiny sinker slightly moving as he pecks away at my bait. HAve seen video of blackfish backing away from bait when seeing sinker move. Beat up old looking sinker I would thing may blend in better with the surroundings. No scientific data here just notice that I get more bites with non shiny sinkers. Anything to get an advantage. Kiss principle always seems to work best but I am always looking to build a better mouse trap.
