šŸŽ£ Flat Bank Sinkers: A Quick Guide

Flat bank sinkers are a type of fishing weight designed to help your bait stay anchored in moving water, especially in rivers or surf fishing conditions. Here's what makes them unique:

🧱 Shape & Design

  • Flat Bottom: The wide, flat surface resists rolling, helping the sinker stay put in strong currents.

  • Tapered Edges: Often slightly rounded or beveled to reduce snags on rocks or debris.

  • Hole or Eyelet: Usually features a hole at the top for easy attachment to your rig using a swivel or line.

āš™ļø Functionality

  • Stability: The flat design prevents the sinker from tumbling or drifting, keeping your bait in the strike zone longer.

  • Ideal for Currents: Perfect for fishing in fast-moving water where traditional round sinkers might roll away.

  • Bottom Contact: Maintains good contact with the bottom, which is great for bottom-feeding species like catfish or drum.
