Pyramid sinkers are frequently used in the surf or in situations where your bait needs to stay in place in strong currents. The pointed edges of the sinker help prevent your bait from being carried away by the current. Additionally, the sinker usually embeds itself in the sand, providing a secure hold. TackleDirect offers a range of sizes for these sinkers, starting from 1oz up to 10oz, ensuring that you can find the right size for your next fishing trip.
