Abstract: A slip-on weight 1 for a fishing line includes a weighted body 11 and an elongate member 12. The body 11 has an overall specific gravity greater than one, a central borel 111 having a slightly greater diameter at its proximal end 112 and a slightly lesser diameter at its distal end 113, and (3) a slot 114 from the exterior of the body to its central bore 111. The elongate member 12 is in the substantial shape of a hollow tube with (1) its distal end 123 diameter slightly greater than its proximal end 122 diameter, and with (2) a longitudinal slot 124 connecting to the interior of the tube.
