Gemini Splashdown-Single Sinkers – USA-Made Surf Casting Weights with Bait Clip

Our Sinkers are proudly made and assembled in the USA by a family that loves fishing.

Using high-strength and high-highquality components.

 

Every sinker is visually inspected for superior craftsmanship and imperfections.

 

The unique design of the Gemini Splash Down Sinkers, gives them a very distinct and extremely useful set of advantages over other very reliable conventional bait clipping devices out there.

The Gemini Splash-Down Single Sinker is not your average surf fishing weight. Designed with precision, this aerodynamic sinker incorporates a built-in bait clip that locks your hook securely behind the lead, creating a compact, streamlined profile for long-distance surfcasting.

 

Gemini Splash Down Impact Release Sinkers allow you to clip and lock your baited hook directly behind the sinker streamlining your fishing rigs during their flight until they are released once they impact the water. The Gemini Splash Down is excellent for those who use the off-the-ground casting technique. It locks your baited hook directly behind the sinker for far better aerodynamic properties thanks to its unique design allowing you to streamline your sinker/fishing rig for distance casting.

Unlike traditional pyramid or bank sinkers, Splash‑Downs eliminate wasted bait and reduce mid-air spin, which means more control and more hook-ups. They're perfect for pulley rigs but work best when paired with smaller hooks (under 5/0)—ideal for presenting chunk baits or live bait cleanly.

 

The Gemini Splash Down Sinker is still one of our go-to sinkers when pompano fishing on the South Texas Surf.

These sinkers are produced using high-quality materials and are just about 100% reliable.

• Proudly handmade in the USA with top-grade stainless wire and lead
• Provides a great way for excellent bait presentation and eliminates those frustrating moments when your hook bait becomes unclipped during mid-cast
• These sinkers also feature an adjustable tension clip system.
• Provide you the control to fine-tune how much hold you want in surf currents.
• Whether you're targeting red drum, pompano, or sea trout—this sinker is built to perform.

Gemini Splash Down Sinkers take the standard Gemini Breakout Sinkers to a higher level of performance by integrating a lockable bait release clip into the fishing sinker itself.

These are GENUINE Gemini Tackle products which have been very useful for us over the years

 

• The nose cone places the grips in front of the body mass of the lead sinker, which alters its center of gravity, allowing it to bear greater pressure on the grips into whatever type of bottom you might be fishing.

• Their grip wires are individually placed in their respective slots; this unique design allows the four individual grip wires to be precisely tensioned on their extremely hard-wearing plastic head.

• This system allows for their nose cones to be interchangeable giving you the flexibility to easily attach the Gemini Breakout Sinker head to a range of gripped nose cones and other accessories onto the fishing weight allowing the user to create the perfect sinker to suit whatever the conditions are when being fished with.

• Various gripped heads and accessories can be attached; these heads and accessories can then be detached at the end of your fishing session allowing for easier storage.

• Gemini Sinkers are some of the ultimate long-casting fishing weights, especially designed for when you are fishing in rough conditions or whenever you need to anchor your bait to the bottom. The legs on these sinkers clip in their respective slots, and when you are ready to retrieve your bait simply apply pulling pressure with your rod, and the Gemini sinker system will detach from its hold on whatever bottom you are fishing.

• The Gemini Breakout Heads offer maximum grip alongside a flawless breakout system for the retrieve.

• Holds your rig in place on the bottom

• Grip tension can be adjusted to suit almost any fishing conditions

• Great aerodynamic design with amazing anchorage capabilities

When fishing with clipped-down fishing rigs they offer great casting distance capabilities with the 5 oz being our go-to weight especially since it places the sinker right around the recommended casting weight for most beach rods that are used here in the USA, making it the sinker to use when distance is required.

They provide plenty of help when distance casting a clipped and baited hook even when the wind is blowing straight at you.
