A dredge weight is a specialized weight that is used in sportfishing with a dredge. A dredge is a type of fishing rig consisting of a series of teasers or artificial baits that are arranged in a spread, typically pulled behind a boat to attract large pelagic fish such as tuna and marlin. The dredge weight plays an important role in the effectiveness of the dredge by helping to maintain the desired depth and angle of the dredge in the water.

When a dredge is deployed in the water, it is important to keep it at a specific depth and angle to maximize its effectiveness. The dredge weight is attached to the front of the dredge line and is used to keep the dredge at the desired depth and angle. The weight helps to keep the dredge below the surface of the water, where it can be more visible to fish, and also helps to maintain the proper angle of the dredge by counteracting the forces of the boat and the water.

In addition to its role in maintaining the depth and angle of the dredge, the dredge weight can also help to attract fish by creating additional noise and commotion in the water. The weight can create a thumping sound as it moves through the water, which can be attractive to predatory fish.

Overall, the dredge weight plays a critical role in the effectiveness of sportfishing with a dredge. It helps to maintain the desired depth and angle of the dredge in the water, which can increase its visibility and attractiveness to fish. By using a dredge weight, anglers can improve their chances of hooking and landing large pelagic fish such as tuna and marlin.
