Quick take
Pyramid-shaped sinkers that dig into sand and soft mud to hold bottom in surf and moving water.
A pack of eight 2-ounce lead pyramid sinkers in a grey finish. The pointed tip digs into sand and soft mud, and the flat sides resist rolling along the bottom. It suits surf and pier bottom fishing with live or cut bait.
