The tyrolean tree (tirolsko drvce) is a special bottom fishing sinker made of three parts: a rubber or plastic tube, a lead weight pressed into its lower end and a plastic plug with a side hole at the top that the line runs through. Air trapped in the tube keeps the sinker upright on the bottom, so it does not lie in weed or mud and instead lifts the rig and hook length above the seabed.
That is why it is used where ordinary sinkers snag or sink into mud and weed: on weedy and muddy bottoms and when fishing close to rocks, where it noticeably cuts down on snags. The bait stays visible and fishable, and the sinker is easy to match to conditions because it comes in several weights. It is available from 15 to 35 g for lighter shore and boat fishing.
