Sinker Guy Sputnik Sinkers – Secure Casting for OBX Surf Fishing
The Go-To Weight for Outer Banks Surf Anglers
When surf fishing on Hatteras Island, holding bottom against strong currents and shifting tides is half the battle. Sinker Guy Sputnik Sinkers are built for maximum casting distance and secure anchoring, making them a favorite among OBX anglers chasing drum, bluefish, and sea mullet.
Why Choose Sputnik Sinkers?
Traditional pyramid sinkers often roll or drag in heavy surf. Sputnik Sinkers feature wire “legs” that dig into the sand, locking your rig in place. When it’s time to reel in, the wires release for a smooth retrieve—saving both your time and tackle.

Sputnik sinkers may look odd, but the tines attached to the lead sinker serve a very useful purpose. The tines dig into the sand on the bottom and lock the sinker in place. Sputnik sinkers allow surf anglers to use lighter weights to hold bottom in more turbulent surf conditions. Available ranging from 2 oz. up to 7 oz., you will be sure to find the size you need for your next fishing trip.
