Overview
This is a 3-pack of stainless steel weight clips, the Balloon Fisher King 417 style, used to attach a fishing line to a balloon or kite float rather than as a traditional bank sinker.
The category label reads Sinkers, but the special-feature note names it specifically as a Balloon Fisher King 417 Weight Clip, a device anglers use in balloon and kite fishing rigs to hold the line under a float until a fish strikes. That distinction matters: this is not a standard egg or bank sinker despite where it is filed.
- 3-pack of stainless steel weight clips
- Balloon Fisher King 417 style
- Built for balloon or kite fishing rigs
- Multi-color finish
Who it's for
Offshore or pier anglers who run balloon or kite rigs for species like sailfish, tuna, or kingfish. Not useful for anyone who wants a conventional weight for bottom fishing.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Stainless steel resists saltwater corrosion
- Purpose-built for balloon and kite fishing rigs
- Light weight per clip suits the float application
- Not a general sinker despite the category label
- Only 3 clips per pack
- Multi-color mix may not let you pick a specific color
Performance notes
Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in saltwater, and at 0.02 kilograms total for 3 pieces, each clip is light, matching the small role it plays of holding line under a balloon or kite rather than sinking a bait.
