No. of Sinker vs Weight of Sinker

[Carl Chao]

Hi, Folks,

Could anyone give me some suggestion on the relationship between Number of the Sinker and its actual weight (Grams)? e.g. No.5 sinker = 25 g

I am confused with the two system.

Thank you.

Regards,
Carl

don't think there is a clear system, you can (say) size 2 ball from one supplier and then get a 2 from another and they are different sizes

Also, the different types of sinkers also have their own independant numbering systems. I.E. if you had a size 1 snapper lead, it would be much heavier than a size 1 ball.
