Found these lead weights from tackle kit. What kind of fishing style these are made for? They have plastic stick inside them. Package only said Catherine France.

They’re olive weights, and the design allows them to be fitted to a line after the rig has been tied. The split in the tubing and the olive allows both to be slide sideways onto the line, then one slid inside the other to lock it in place. It allows you to adjust the amount of weight, and the position of the weight, without retying the rig when you want the weight inline.

They’re mostly used for light fishing. People use them for things like drifting, slow bottom rigs, or simple inline setups where you want a bit of weight but still keep the presentation natural.

For those times you spend 5 minutes tying up a rig with swivel, leader, hook…. dammit I forgot to put the sinker on first.
