Quick take
Ten 1 oz lead pyramid sinkers for anchoring rigs on sandy or soft bottoms.
Pyramid sinkers hold bait in place on sand and soft bottom, and this pack gives ten one-ounce lead weights for bottom rigs and surf setups. The pyramid shape has flat sides and a pointed tip that help the weight resist rolling in moving water. Ten pieces per pack suit anglers who want a steady supply of the same weight on hand.
Best for

Skip if
- You fish rocky bottoms
- You need egg sinkers for slip rigs
