Thanks for the link. :a_goodjob:

I noticed that there are three different colours and sizes.

Which one is more common to use for :water:

Are the sizes rated just for the weight of the sinker?

:-D

From memory i think its based on size.
Red: Smallest
Blue: Medium
Black: Large
I could be wrong. I pretty much use the Blue one.

I use these too. I reckon he needs to upgrade the design a bit though to make the hole through the middle bigger so it doesn't catch on the leader knot so much

I usually run a small drill bit through them. This also gets rid of the sharp edges from the join in the guts of them as well. Less chance of any silly bustoffs. It's all about the 1 percenters...nobody wants to lose a fish of a lifetime through something stupid imo...
