Abstract: A fishing line sinker comprises a length of inelastic material being configured into a coil shape comprising an interior diameter being configured to contain a portion of a fishing line therein. The coil shape further comprises a plurality of coil loops in which spacing between adjacent loops is alterable by transient application of a force. An alteration to a surface of the inelastic material is applied to the inelastic material for gripping at least during placement of the coils shape on the fishing line and application of the force.
