6 Pack 5 oz Cannonball Sinkers

Key Features

• 5 OZ ROUND LEAD SINKER — THE ALL-PURPOSE PIER AND SURF WEIGHT — Precision cast to 5 ounces (142 grams), this cannonball sinker handles the in-between scenarios that 4 oz can't manage and 6 oz overpowers — moderate-to-strong surf, pier dropdowns in current, and light downrigger setups for inland reservoir trolling. A versatile middle weight that anchors bait without dragging your rod tip down.
• 6 PIECES PER PACK — SIZED FOR SERIOUS PIER ANGLERS AND HEAVY SURF — Pier fishing demands heavier weights to combat tide swing and avoid drift into pilings. 6 cannonball sinkers in this weight class is the right inventory for weekend pier trips, weekly surf sessions, or a charter day on the Outer Banks targeting school cobia, big bluefish, and Atlantic sharpnose sharks.
• STRONG CURRENT AND TIDE-RIP HOLDING POWER — The 5 oz weight class is where round sinkers start to outperform pyramids in certain conditions. While pyramids dig into sand and stay put, cannonballs roll slightly with current, presenting bait naturally to fish working a tide line — exactly what you want when targeting striped bass in a moving rip or bluefish staging on a sandbar drop-off.
• DOUBLES AS A LIGHT DOWNRIGGER BALL FOR INLAND TROLLING — On inland reservoirs and smaller lakes (Lake Powell, Texas reservoirs, Northeast finger lakes), the 5 oz cannonball serves as an entry-level downrigger weight for 20–40 ft depth trolling — pulling crankbaits, spoons, and live bait for striped bass, walleye, and hybrid striped bass without committing to a 10–12 oz commercial downrigger ball.
• POLISHED BRASS EYELET AND CAST LEAD CONSTRUCTION — Each 5 oz cannonball weight features a polished brass wire eyelet rated to handle 30–60 lb braid and 25–40 lb mono without abrading. The dense lead body sinks fast through the water column for quick depth control in tide and current. WARNING: This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects. Wash hands after use.
