What is "sinker"?

A sinker is a type of donut that is characterized by its dense, heavy texture. Unlike traditional donuts, which are light and fluffy, sinkers are made with ingredients such as potatoes or other starches that give them their characteristic weight and heft. The dough is typically rolled out and cut into the desired shape, then deep-fried until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and dense and chewy on the inside. Sinker donuts are often enjoyed plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar, and are a popular pastry in many countries around the world.

What is a "sinker"?

A sinker is a small, heavy weight attached to the fishing line to help the bait sink to the desired depth in the water. Sinkers are usually made of lead, steel, or other dense materials and come in various shapes, such as round or cylindrical. By adding a sinker, the fisherman can ensure that the bait reaches the bottom of the water or stays at a certain depth, making it more likely to attract fish. Sinkers are often used in both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
