Quick take
A ten-pack of flat round one-ounce coin sinkers, designed to stay in place on sandy or rocky bottoms against waves and current.
This is a pack of ten round lead coin sinkers, one ounce each, with stainless steel eyes for rigging. The flat disc shape sits on the bottom instead of rolling, which suits surf fishing in waves and river fishing in current. Anglers going after catfish, bass or pompano can use them in fresh or salt water.
Best for
- Surf fishing for pompano, croaker or halibut
- River and current fishing where sinkers roll
- Bottom rigs in strong tide
Skip if
- You fish slack-water ponds where position does not matter
- You need variable weights for one rig
Strengths
- Flat coin shape prevents rolling on bottom
- 1 oz weight reaches middle depths without excessive drag
- Ten sinkers provide several rig options or backups
Trade-offs
- Lead material requires careful disposal in saltwater areas
- Flat design is bulkier to carry than bullet weights
- 1 oz weight fatigues hand on all-day casting
