The diamond form tapers to a point at each end and carries its bulk in the middle, so it enters nose-first and drops on a straighter line than a round sinker of the same weight. The flat faces also give it edges: on hard sand or gravel they bite instead of rolling, holding a bait where it was cast rather than letting it drift downtide. Supplied in three sizes — DL-780 (750g), DL-1020 (1010g) and DL-1380 (1350g) — with weight rising with the code number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond (four-faced, double-tapered) lead body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreamlined nose for a fast, straight descent in deep or moving water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat faces and edges resist rolling on hard bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sizes: DL-780 (750g), DL-1020 (1010g), DL-1380 (1350g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRunning (sliding) rig\u003c\/strong\u003e — Thread the sinker on the main line, add a bead, tie to a swivel, then run a leader to the hook.

DL-1020 for deeper water or a running tide where the light one starts sliding. DL-1380 for deep water, strong current or long casts into wind. Go up a size the moment the lead moves; a drifting sinker is fishing nothing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom type\u003c\/strong\u003e — Edges hold well on hard sand and gravel.
