    OK team so I went and tested the idea - it worked ok.  Caught, landed and released a large stingray and caught this 50cm grunter with the rig as advertised.  However after this I did notice the braid was rubbed- so I chickened out and reverted to having the sinker run on the long leader as usual.  
    I am happy with the idea of 100% biodegradable sinkers so will continue to make them to suit.
    Thanks

    Hi team,
    I have made a steel sinker with a PLA lining and a spot to hold scent.   I am planning on having a circle hook (Black Magic KL 7.0) 12 lb flurocarbon leader (about 30cm) tied with a FC knot to 15 lb daiwa 8x braid.  This sinker will sit behind the FC knot (maybe with a bead stopper) and it will be able to run free on the braid.  We are using Shimano bait runner reels and I have been containing the sinkers on a long leader so far - this new plan will let the fish take the bait and run without feeling the sinker....  I have made a custom sinker with a pla insert and some holes and texture to hold some scent.  
    Fishing from a small pontoon in the creek - We are targeting fish like Grunter at the moment - current record is 55 cm
     
    Will this work?  Do you have any advice?
    Thanks for your thoughts
