A compound, adjustable fishing sinker comprised of a plurality of weights. All of the weights have a hole through which a fishing line may be tied, allowing any of the weights to be the initial weight put on a line. All of the weights have threaded screw shanks and threaded screw sockets, allowing the weights to be screwed together in any order, interchangeably. The system is designed to be durable and inexpensive. The weight elements, in aggregate, have a large enough mass to cause the hook to sink, but a small enough mass that they can be cast with the fishing line.
