Bait-Walker Sinker

The Bait-Walker Sinker was created to walk rocky bottom structure without snagging up. It was designed in 1975 by Dan Gapen, Sr. to work both live bait and lures, such as crankbaits, spoons, trolling flies and stick plugs. Research proved the Bait-Walker to be 85 to 90% snag-free on natural rock bottom in both lake and river. The Bait-Walker walks across bottom with little resistance, because less than 5% of the sinker touches bottom. Built with a patented flat back, the angler feels less than 50% of the sinker's actual weight. Example: a 2 oz. Bait-Walker pulls but 1 oz. or less, at rod tip. When engaged in a rock crevice, the user only has to back over the snag, pull hard, and feel the sinker pivot back on itself and out of the snag. When touching rough rock bottom, because the point of pull is up and above the sinker weight, this rig will help lift up off the bottom then settle back to bottom inches later.

Besides all these features, the Bait-Walker also acts as a keel sinker, providing line twist while trolling. Nothing will get live bait or your favorite stick plug down where fish hold--better than a Bait-Walker sinker.

Stop bottom snags December 14, 2011
Reviewer: John Aldrich from Rural Hall, NC United States  
Quality is just tops.  I am using this item to bottom fish and slow troll in sticky spots.  So far, no snags.

Fast service Bait-Walker August 4, 2011
Reviewer: God'S Grace Fishing Team from Grafton, WI United States  
The Bait-Walker is not always easy to find in stores. I am extremely happy to find the manufacturer. I placed my order Monday afternoon and it was at my door on Wednesday afternoon. WOW! I like these Walkers far better than the common wire walkers because I can feel bottom and they do not twist up and tangle. Great product at a reasonable price. The catalog is quite interesting. I will be back for more products soon. Thanks Gapen!
