Quick take
Diamond-polished pyramid sinkers with flat sides and pointed tip that stay in place on the bottom and resist rolling with tide and current.
This 2 oz pyramid sinker comes six to a pack in silver, built for surf and saltwater rigs. Its pointed tip and flat sides let it settle into sand and hold a rig in place as the tide moves. The same weights work in freshwater rivers and lakes, and the body is insert-free.
Best for
- Surf fishing in wave action and strong currents
- Bottom rigs in rivers and tidal areas
- Any rig where the weight must not roll downslope
Skip if
- You need weights heavier than 8 oz
- You fish snag-prone bottoms
Strengths
- Pointed tip and flat sides resist rolling in current
- Diamond polish prevents line damage during casting
- Available in seven sizes for any bottom-fishing scenario
Trade-offs
- Pyramid shape can snag more in rocks or shells
- Not aerodynamic; casts shorter than round weights
- The points can dull from use on rocky bottoms

- Freshwater
