Sea Striker SS-8OZ Longtail Sputnik Surf Sinker - 8 oz

The Sea Striker SS-8OZ Longtail Sputnik is an 8-ounce surf sinker with stainless-steel anchor arms that dig into the sand to resist current and wave action. When you retrieve, a firm pull releases the arms so the sinker comes back with less drag than a fixed-anchor design.

When to Reach for an 8-Ounce Sputnik

Use this sinker when current or sweep is moving lighter weights and your surf rod is rated to cast 8 ounces plus bait. The gripping arms can help keep baits in a specific trough or hole instead of letting the rig walk down the beach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the arms stay locked during retrieval?
No. A pull on the line is designed to release the arms for easier retrieval.

Can every surf rod cast 8 ounces?
No. Always stay within your rod’s stated casting-weight range, especially after accounting for the weight of bait.
