Cut through snags like a pro. This 4 oz custom Gemini Sputnik-style sinker is built tough for surfcasters and pier anglers fishing rock piles, reefy bottoms, and shell-packed shores. Whether you fish the Gulf, Atlantic, or Pacific, this aerodynamic design paired with authentic Gemini Tackle hardware ensures your lead lifts smoothly on the retrieve—helping reduce snags and lost gear.
This Gemini Breakout Sinker has been our go-to sinker when fishing around some of Texas's waters that are prone to snags, from the rocks around TCD, the waters around Sea Wolf Park, heading down South to the oyster reefs around the Old Copano Bay Fishing Bridge (too bad the storm took it away) to name a few.
Unfortunately, we only carry it in a 4 oz “wing” shape for now (since it has what we require for our fishing trips to snag-prone areas).
Perhaps a few more different variations in the near future!
Some features its design offers:
✅ Genuine Gemini Tackle breakaway-style hardware
✅ Sputnik-style stainless-steel wires for grip and lift
✅ Built to rise off the bottom during retrieve
✅ Hydrodynamic design for casting distance and stable hold
✅An ideal and very practical way to lift your terminal tackle off the bottom and away from potential snags when retrieved, it works especially well with today’s high-speed gear ratio reels found on today’s market.
✅ Handmade in the USA by saltwater anglers for anglers
👉 When every cast counts, you don’t want to waste time retying rigs. Our custom 4 oz Leadslinger’s Gemini Sinker gives you the edge where others hang up. Whether you’re working current breaks off the Gulf jetties, rocky West Coast drop-offs, or the Atlantic's shelly troughs—this weight:
Grips the bottom securely, even in current
Lifts vertically on the retrieve, dodging snags
Uses Gemini breakaway wire arms that trip reliably
Saves you rigs, hooks, and headaches 🎯
🧲 Only Available in 4 oz—And That’s By Design
This sinker isn’t for every scenario—it’s purpose-built for tough bottoms where snag resistance and weight lift matter more than depth-holding. 4 oz hits the sweet spot for:
Moderate current surf zones
Mid-range casting with surf or medium-heavy rods
Balance between grip and retrievability

🎣 Pro Tip: Pair this sinker with a pulley rig or fish finder rig for maximum snag-resistance. Use a strong mono shock leader and braid mainline to feel the instant “lift” when the Gemini wires trip.
Gemini Breakout Lead Lift Surf Weights
Proudly handcrafted and assembled in the USA.
Every sinker is visually inspected for superior craftsmanship and imperfections.
Using high-quality, high-strength stainless-steel components and 98% pure lead.
The Sinkers shape and weight make it aerodynamic for ultimate casting distance with little wind resistance.
The legs hold solid, and when properly pulled to retrieve the arms disengage from their respective slots and swing outward. Once they release, they make the retrieval so much easier meaning you are not having to fight the sinker's weight and legs as you bring them in to re-bait your hook.
The legs have to be reset before casting back out.
