Pencil Sinker

The pencil sinker also known as type of drift sinker. These sinkers will drop fast to the bottom, slicing through the water and current. Great for bouncing along bottom structure and feeling the bottom.

A pencil sinker sinker can be used surf fishing with a small rig such as a top and bottom rig. The pencil sinker will roll along the bottom in the surf zone and cuts. Hold your rod and you can cover more bottom with moving bait, looking for fish. This same technique can be done with a bank sinker, or inline sinker. This is not a technique that uses a sand spike, you have to hold the rod and cast frequently to reset your “drift”
