Why is lead used for fishing sinkers?
Lead sinkers are used to keep the bait anchored to the bottom of the water body. The sinkers come in many different shapes and sizes for different fishing situations. Lead is used because it has a high density and low cost. Some competitive anglers are using tungsten weights which have a higher density (and therefore a lower profile) but they are significantly more expensive. Tungsten is also better for the environment,.
What element is used in weights for fishing?
Lead is commonly used in weights for fishing. It is dense, easily moldable, and can be shaped into various forms to suit different fishing techniques and conditions. Lead sinkers are effective in helping anglers reach desired depths and improve casting distance.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of actinium?
The question is meaningless. It works for what it works for and doesn't work for what it doesn't work for. Depending on what you want to do with it, it may be too expensive for that application (it probably wouldn't make good fishing line sinkers for that reason, for example).
