What sinker for beach fishing?
Star sinkers (grip in sand/current) for bait fishing. Ball sinkers for running rigs. 2-6oz depending on conditions — heavier in strong current, lighter in calm.
What sinker for boat fishing?
Ball or bean sinkers for running rigs (1-4oz). Snapper leads for deep bait fishing. Match weight to current — use minimum needed to hold bottom.
Star vs ball sinkers?
Star: grips in sand/current, stays put — beach fishing. Ball: rolls with current, presents bait naturally — running rigs, estuary fishing.
Do sinker shape matter?
Yes — shapes affect how your rig behaves. Star grips, ball rolls, bean slides smoothly, snapper lead drops fast. Choose based on your technique and conditions.
