What is a pyramid sinker used for?
A pyramid sinker has four faces that bite into sand. It is the surfcasting lead for holding in the wash.

Cast it on a beach when the tide would roll an egg or bank lead up the slope.

It keeps a bait in the gutter instead of tumbling back to your feet with every wave.
