What Is It Called And Where Can I Find It? - The Hull Truth

I'm looking for a clip that resembles a safety pin, about one inch or so in length, that a person can attach a 8-20 oz. bank sinker.
These are commonly found on cod rigs. I've seen them sold with the rigs, but not individually. I've tried a couple of tackle shops as well as Ebay and have come up with nothing. My desire is to make up a number of cod rigs.

Thanks,
Brian

Roll Tide has it. It's the sinker snap. Thank you all for your efforts.

It looks like that thing wouldn't hold that well, particularly with that amount of weight. Is the intent to have the weight fall off if snagged?

i guess so, hence the name 'brass sinker release pin'

for bottom fishing with 'chicken rigs' (dropper loop style), we just tie a loop in the end of the leader to slip the 6 to 16 ounce bank sinker eye onto.
