Problem to be solved: to provide a fishing weight which can be easily replaced according to the situation of fishing, and is able to maintain the fitting state to the fishing line even if a predetermined impact occurs during the fishing process. A fishing weight 10 having a cylindrical fishing line retaining member 12 through which the fishing line 11 can be inserted and a spherical weight body 14 having an insertion recess 13 into which the fishing line holding member is detachably inserted and fixed, is engaged with the fishing line retaining member. A convex portion 15 is formed and an insertion recess is formed in the insertion recess of the weight body to detachably engage the locking projection. Diagram【課題】釣りの状況に応じて容易に交換可能であると共に、釣りの過程で所定の衝撃が作用した場合であっても確実に釣り糸への装着状態を維持することができる釣り用錘を提供する。【解決手段】釣り糸11を挿通しうる円筒状の釣り糸保持部材12と、釣り糸保持部材が着脱可能に挿通固定される挿通凹部13が形成された球状の錘本体14とを備えた釣り用錘10であって、釣り糸保持部材には係止凸部15が形成されていると共に錘本体の挿通凹部には、係止凸部が着脱可能に係合する係合凹部が形成されている。【選択図】図1
