Meet the 88g Breakaway Sinker, a valuable asset to both professionals and hobbyists in the fishing world. It is silver and crafted from robust lead, enhancing both its functionality and elegant aesthetics.
These claw sinkers provide an edge in high-sea scenarios with significant drift. Enhanced with glow-in-the-dark beads, they offer excellent visibility at all hours and appeal to fish. Distinctive stainless steel spikes are designed to ensure secure positioning in the sand while they can be easily folded back for retrieval. If you desire an extra bright glow from the beads, use a flashlight on them before use.
The 88g (3 oz) Grapnel sinker is the lightest in its range, making it an excellent choice for anglers looking for a balance between weight and control. This lighter Grapnel sinker is perfect for situations where strong currents or waves are present, but you don't need the added weight of heavier sinkers. Here’s when and why you would use the 3 oz breakaway sinker:
When to Use: This sinker is ideal for surf fishing along the coastline where moderate waves and tides are common. The Grapnel sinker’s prongs dig into the sandy bottom to anchor your bait and prevent it from being swept away by the waves.
Why: Even though it’s the lightest in the range, this sinker still provides excellent grip in sandy conditions, allowing you to target species like snapper, kahawai, and trevally that are often feeding near the shore.
When to Use: If you’re fishing in areas with moderate tidal currents, such as estuaries or channels, the 88g breakaway sinker provides enough weight to keep your bait in place without overwhelming your gear.
Why: In conditions where the current is strong but not extreme, this sinker is perfect for ensuring your bait remains in the strike zone, while its lighter weight allows for easier casting and retrieval.
When to Use: When targeting fish in shallower waters, either from a pier or a boat, the lighter 3 oz sinker ensures your bait reaches the bottom without needing the added weight of a larger sinker.
Why: The lighter weight is ideal for shallow water fishing where you need less resistance to reach the bottom. It is particularly useful for targeting species like gurnard and flounder that feed closer to the shore.
When to Use: On windy days, using the 88g sinker can help maintain control over your cast and ensure your bait stays anchored, even with moderate winds.
Why: The sinker’s weight is light enough to cast effectively in windy conditions but heavy enough to counter the wind’s effects, ensuring your bait reaches the seabed quickly.
When to Use: This sinker is perfect for targeting bottom-dwelling fish like snapper, gurnard, and flounder. The prongs of the sinker anchor into the seabed, keeping your bait exactly where it needs to be.
Why: The lightest in the range, this sinker still ensures that your bait remains stable on the seabed without being too heavy for shallower water fishing.
The 88g (3 oz) breakaway sinker is the lightest in its range, making it ideal for surf fishing, moderate currents, and shallow waters. It provides enough weight to anchor your bait effectively while allowing for easier casting and retrieval. This sinker is an excellent choice for targeting bottom-dwelling species and handling moderate fishing conditions where a heavier sinker is not required.
