Sputnik style sinkers, also known as spider or anchor sinkers, are popular choices among surf anglers due to their effectiveness in keeping the bait in place in the strong surf currents. These sinkers feature a pyramid shape with wire arms extending from each corner, which helps anchor them firmly into the sand.

The advantage of using sputnik sinkers is that they minimize line movement caused by the surf, preventing your bait from drifting too far from the target zone. This allows the angler to keep the bait in the feeding area of the fish, increasing the chances of a successful catch.  We are proud to partner with The Sinker Guy to bring you the best sputniks on the market to keep your bait in place!
