A Few Stern Facts About Sinkers

The New York Sun reports that 300 to 400 tons of lead are melted into sinkers nationwide each year. In New York alone wake 50 to 60 tons annually, with two tons per day in peak seasons. Sinkers vary in style and weight for nets and lines, with patented types like the eight ounce Bank six sided sinker. A fishing boat can buy 300 to 400 pounds weekly, and some say ocean bottoms near the lightship are paved with sinkers.
