Downrigger ball weights are essential for deep-sea anglers and trolling enthusiasts. These heavy, round lead weights are designed to hold baits at precise depths while trolling, allowing anglers to reach target fish zones where traditional sinkers can’t.
As demand for precision-made downrigger weights grows, many international fishing brands and distributors choose OEM fishing tackle manufacturing in Vietnam for custom production. Let’s explore how these sinkers work and why Vietnam—especially Fides Fishing—is becoming a top choice for reliable, cost-effective supply.
What Are Downrigger Ball Weights?
Downrigger ball weights are dense, hydrodynamic lead balls—usually weighing from 4 lbs to over 12 lbs—attached to a downrigger cable system. They:
-
Maintain a stable depth during trolling
-
Reduce line drag and improve bait presentation
-
Allow better control in deep or fast-moving waters
These weights typically include a stainless steel eyelet or brass loop for secure connection, and some are coated to resist corrosion in saltwater environments.
Design Features of OEM Downrigger Ball Weights
A well-crafted downrigger ball isn’t just a lump of lead—it’s a precision-engineered product. OEM manufacturing allows you to tailor each design aspect to fit your brand’s needs:
▪ Shape: Classic round ball – Standard, universal shape with balanced drag
▪ Material: Lead core – For maximum density and compact size
▪ Connection Points: Solid brass or stainless steel eyelets for attachment to cable and release clip
