šŖ Coin Sinkers: Flat, Snag-Resistant Weights for River and Surf Fishing
Coin sinkersāalso known as coin disc sinkers or silver dollar sinkersāare flat, round fishing weights designed to hold bait steady in moving water while minimizing snags. Their disc-like shape makes them ideal for fishing in rivers, surf zones, and areas with rocky or grassy bottoms.
š Key Features
-
Flat, Round Design: Resembles a silver dollar; lays flat on the bottom to resist rolling
-
Snag-Free Shape: Smooth edges help avoid getting caught in rocks or sea grass
-
Wide Surface Area: Enhances bottom grip in strong currents without needing excessive weight
-
Sizes: Typically range from 1 oz to 8 oz, depending on water conditions and bait size
š Best Uses
| Fishing Environment | Why Coin Sinkers Work Well |
|---|---|
| River Beds | Hold steady in current and avoid rocky snags |
| Surf Fishing | Stay planted in sandy or grassy bottoms |
