Quick take
Spider-leg pyramid sinker that holds firmly in sand and surf, designed for casting distance and stability in strong currents.
Dr.Fish's Sputnik sinker is a 3 oz lead spider weight with four stainless steel legs that spread open once the weight lands and grip the sand. Its long tail and streamlined body are designed to fly steadily on long casts, and the pack holds two sinkers. Surf anglers and catfish fishermen can use it to keep bait in one place on the bottom.
