A fishing sinker attachable to a fishing line comprising: a) a unitary head piece having an end portion and a trailing stem portion, wherein a bored aperture transversely extends through said end portion for supporting said head to radiate from a fishing line inserted through said bore and wherein said stem portion includes a plurality of fastener pieces that project from sidewalls of the stem portion; b) an elongated, solid ballast piece exhibiting a weight substantially greater than the specific gravity of water and having an end portion that includes a key fastener that projects from sidewalls of the end portion; c) an elongated, non-buoyant, non-porous tubular body piece having a longitudinal through bore, wherein said stem portion of the head piece mounts inside one end of said through bore such that said fastener pieces interconnect said head piece to said body piece, and wherein said body piece includes a keyway adapted to align and interconnect with the key fastener such that the ballast piece interconnects with said body piece to interchangeably vary the gross weight of said sinker; and d) attractor means retained in the through bore of said body piece by and between said head piece and ballast piece for attracting fish.
