(The 42oz is long and round)

Bank Sinkers 1/2oz - 24oz

Pyramid Sinkers - With brass cleat.
The Pyramid Sinker is popular when fishing in areas with strong currents. On soft bottoms the pyramid tends to bury itself and on hard bottoms the flat sides of the sinker will prevent it from rolling with the current.

Spoon Sinkers (Snag free)
Use these when fishing over foul ground. They are less likely to snag. Spoon sinkers are also great when flounder fishing using your rod and line! (When flounder fishing using very small hooks eg sprat hooks and give little jerky movements from time to time on your line to make the sand move, this attracts the flounder)

Scud Sinker (Registered Design #28379)
The original two winged sinker.

Gary's Gurnard Sinker(also known as K-4 Surf Sinker)

NEW! Break-Away Sinker with bait-clip

12oz (With Coastlock Snap & ball bearing Swivel or without)

Gemini Plain Nose Sinker
The gemini standard sinker with plain nose cone for streamlined casting.
3oz - 8oz

Beachcomber Sinker (Tournament sinker)
Great for long distance casting and fishing where strong currents aren't a problem.

River Sinkers
No need to go with the flow. These large donut-shaped sinkers hold their own against the currents in rivers, tidal flats, coastal areas and surf. The low profile and raised outer edges of the River Sinker prevent the rolling or tumbling that you’d expect under these conditions.

Wrap-Around Decoy Anchor
This is the answer to the problem of moving decoys between different depths of water. Line is wrapped around the body of the anchor. It can be easily set for any depth by tightly wrapping the line off around one of the ears. A weight of this type eliminates retying the line during a change in water depths.

Pinch-Ons - (In Packs of 10)
These sinkers will slide smoothly up and down the line.These Pinch-On Sinkers are very easy to attach and remove from the line. The ears of the sinker are simply folded over the line, which gives a streamlined shape when attached. They will slide up and down just the same way as a ball sinker does when straylining.
Perfect for adding on that extra bit of weight to your rig without having to cut the line.

Decoy Anchor Weight - Mushroom shape
These anchor weights have been an old standard of duck hunters everywhere for years. The mushroom shape is best in soft bottom areas.
