Green Bass at Charlie's Fishing: lead-free bullet weights and dropshot weights

Green Bass Fishing is a Dutch brand that makes lead-free weights for predator anglers. It was started with one goal: to give anglers a good alternative to the lead that ends up in our lakes and rivers. Green Bass developed its own alloy for this, with 0% lead, 0% zinc and 0% copper. According to the brand it is harmless to people and the environment, it does not rub off on your hands or in your tackle box, and its weight to size ratio is close to that of lead. The products are packed in paper instead of plastic. At Charlie's Fishing we stock the Green Bass Lead-Free Bullet Weight and the Green Bass Lead-Free Dropshot. Below you find what each one is for.

Green Bass Lead-Free Bullet Weight: punching weight for Texas rigs

The Green Bass Fishing Lead-Free Bullet Weight is a bullet-shaped sliding weight in 4 and 6 g, with the weight marked on every weight. Its pointed punching shape helps it break through dense vegetation such as weed beds and lily pads, so your softbait gets down to the fish instead of hanging on top. Every bullet weight comes with a green crystal bead to put between weight and hook, which protects your knot. Use it on a Texas rig with an offset hook and a creature bait, craw or worm for perch and zander around weed and snags. More in Weights and Craws & Creature Baits.

Green Bass Lead-Free Dropshot: clip-on dropshot weight that stays put

The Green Bass Lead-Free Dropshot is a 4 g dropshot weight, four to a pack. The alloy grips the swivel tightly in its core, so there are no loose parts and the weight keeps good contact with the bottom. Each weight has a line clip swivel: clip it onto the line wherever you want and slide it to change the distance to your hook, without tying a knot. The 4 g size is made for light drop shot fishing for perch and zander from the bank, from a jetty or from a boat in shallow water. Combine it with a slim softbait from Ned's & Worms or Zander and Perch Softbaits. All weights are in Terminal Tackle.
