Designed for maximum hold in surf, tide, and current, premium Sputnik Surf Fishing Sinkers — also known as spider weights, grapnel sinkers, no-roll sinkers, or beach casting weights — deliver superior performance when casting from shore, piers, jetties, or rocks.
 
Available in 1oz, 2oz, 3oz, 4oz, 6oz, and 8oz sizes, these aerodynamic sinkers feature stainless steel wire legs that anchor into any bottom and fold away under pressure on the bite, or for easy retrieval. They're ideal for holding bait securely in place, especially in rough surf or strong currents.
 
The 2025 versions – made to a professional guide's exacting specifications – includes improved materials and precision-engineered construction for better casting distance, bait presentation, and bottom-holding power. 
 
Whether targeting croaker, whiting, pompano, catfish, surf perch, striped bass, drum, rays, or sharks, these are the go-to saltwater sinkers for serious anglers.
 
Affordable, durable, and available in multiple sizes, they are essential tackle for any pier, jetty, beach or surf fishing setup using pulley rigs, fish-finder rigs, high-low rigs, or dropper loops.
 
Key Features
Strong Hold in Currents: Extra-long stainless steel wire legs anchor firmly in sand, holding your bait in place through waves, current and undertow.
Breakaway Design: Arms release when a fish strikes or when reeling in, reducing the chance of snags and making retrieval easier.
Long-Distance Casting: Aerodynamic, long-tail shape delivers stable flight for extended casting range, especially with pulley, fish finder or dropper loop rigs.
Built to Last: Heavy-duty, double-wrapped stainless eyelet provides a secure connection under hard casts and strong currents.
Great for use with one of our Non-Return Sliders for deploying big baits from pier, jetty, rocks or surf.

How to Use
Pinch the U-shaped bends so they grip the sinker tightly enough to hold but still release under pressure.
If arms release too easily, tighten the grip or use a small zip tie to lock them in place. For extreme conditions, consider doubling up sinkers when deploying from a kayak, boat, or drone.
