Abstract
A wire sinker and lure support device includes a pair of trailing wire legs with forward ends and free trailing ends. The forward ends are connected to each other and to an upstanding leg which has a loop for attaching a fishing line and a lure leader. The trailing legs are aligned in parallel and a bored sinker is slipped over the trailing legs to the connection of the forward ends. The trailing leg portions are then spread into a V-shaped support base which holds the sinker on the device. The support base engages the bottom when the device is in operation and maintains the upstanding portion off the bottom, so that a lure on the leader is off the bottom.
