Quick take
Teardrop-shaped bank sinkers in seven sizes for drift and bottom fishing in both freshwater and saltwater.
This is a pack of eight 2 oz lead bank sinkers with a streamlined, teardrop-style body and flat sides. The shape suits anglers who anchor bait on sandy or muddy bottoms from the surf, a pier or the bank. It also fits drifting and wreck fishing for sea bass and porgies, where a compact weight helps hold bottom in moving water.
