Quick take
Flat coin-shaped sinkers in seven sizes, designed to lay on the bottom without rolling in current.
This is a round, flat coin sinker in the 2 ounce size, with a stainless steel eyelet for clipping onto a sinker slide. The flat shape is meant to sit on the bottom rather than roll, which suits surf, pier and catfish setups in fresh or salt water. Anglers who want a heavier weight to hold bait in current can use it as a simple bottom-fishing option.
Best for
- Bottom rigs and catfish presentations
- Surf fishing and deep water drift
- Bait presentations on sandy or rocky bottom
Skip if
- You fish shallow water or topwater
- You want a sinker that holds in strong current
Strengths
- Flat shape lays on bottom and does not roll
- Stays in place better than round sinkers in current
- Stainless eyelet resists corrosion
Trade-offs
- Flat design snags easily if line touches bottom
- 7 oz maximum; you need heavier options for deep offshore
- Disc shape is not ideal for weed-free drop-offs
