(54) Methods of producing fishing weights, and fishing weights


(57) A fishing weight comprises a coil (12) of annealed ductile stainless steel wire. The coil is processed to render it readily deformable and to achieve a colouring not unlike the colour of lead shot. A fishing line (14) in anchored to the coil (12) at two locations by entrapment at the line (14) between turns of the coil (12).
The use of non-toxic deformable material as a fishing weight and the ability to readily remove the weight from the line, makes the coil a good substitute for the traditional split lead shot as a fishing weight.
