Quick take
Flat lead sinkers with protective insert for bottom fishing in current without rolling.
A flat, no-roll bank sinker made for moving water, where round egg sinkers tend to roll away from the spot. Each one has an insert through its center that keeps the line off the bare lead, and the pack holds ten 1 oz sinkers. Catfish anglers fishing rivers and creeks will find the flat shape helps the weight stay in place on the bottom.
