Quick take
Heavy surf sinkers with locking wire arms that anchor in sand and snap open for easy retrieval, sized for long-distance casting.
This Breakaway Tackle surf sinker is a two-pack of oval, silver weights with rotating stainless steel wires. The wires are meant to dig into sand and keep the rig in place against surf and current. When it is time to bring the rig in, a pull on the line folds the wires open so the sinker comes back toward shore. It suits beach anglers fishing from the surf.
