AI Technical Summary
Conventional metal fishing weights have smooth surfaces that can appear unnatural to fish, leading to increased wariness and lower catch rates.
The surface of the fishing weight is painted with sand, recreating a natural texture similar to sand and stones, and then coated with a waterproof and durable transparent layer to enhance durability.
The sand-like texture makes fish less wary, the surface is less slippery, and the lack of reflections underwater encourages predatory behavior, resulting in improved fishing catches.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This invention relates to a fishing weight with a sand-coated surface. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventional fishing weights are primarily made of metal and have a smooth surface, which gives an unnatural impression to fish, resulting in fish becoming wary and reducing catches. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] This utility model reproduces the texture of natural sand and stones by painting sand on the surface of a fishing weight, so that it does not give fish an uncomfortable feeling. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] The problem is solved by giving the fishing weight a natural appearance by applying natural or artificial sand evenly to the surface to reproduce a texture close to that of natural sand or stone, and then applying a transparent coating agent with high waterproofness and durability after sand painting to achieve a structure that can withstand long-term use. Effect of the Invention
[0005] The texture of the material resembles that of sand or stones found in nature, which not only makes the weight less likely to warn fish, but also makes the weight's surface less slippery, making it easier to predict changes in the terrain. In addition, the painted surface reduces reflections in the water, which makes it easier to induce predatory behavior in fish.
