Stinger Series Pier & Surf Fishing Rig

I was surf fishing out on the freeport/brazoria county beach towards San Luis pass with these. Big flat beach where I was, and there was a +20mph headwind. These things would hold until an absolutely massive amount of seaweed collected on the line during high tide, which was pretty impressive, har har har. That said, they clearly hold well.

PROS:
-great aerodynamics. I tried flying just the weight a few times and it didn't really tumble too bad. They flew way straighter than the stick lure I tried tossing, as well as the egg shape and sort of pear shaped weights.
-durable. I don't see any wear or tear after a few hours of tossing, dragging, and resetting the legs with a good pinch.
-They seemed to tumble less in air than the egg and other sort of teardrop shaped weights, albeit a little bit less far. I'd call it a positive trade for reasons I'll get into.
-grit didn't impede action of the legs at all. Just blow sand out of the grooves if they get too full.
-the plastic on the legs feels like it doubles to keep sand from scuffing them. That will help resist corrosion.
-super well finished. didn't see any weird lead tag ends etc in any of mine, and I bought quite a few.

CONS:
- I'm not sure there's a way to make the wire of the digging legs have more memory? With that said, they don't seem be losing integrity from resetting the bend.
Also it wasn't a fair test due to the seaweed pulling so much. Easily 10 lbs of seaweed

-the open gap at the wire where you attach weight to the line did cause a few tangles while I was baiting hooks in the wind. I had finger mullets spinning around like crazy and one wrapped around the attachment shaft and pulled up into the circle. I had to cut the knot. This is the only real criticism I have.


OVERALL:
Zero regrets in my bulk purchase. They fly pretty straight into the wind. They hold well if you reset the bend between casts and don't snap the legs back until ready to toss. I like these way more than the egg, or the pear shaped sputnik sinkers. I feel like I can probably home remedy the gap in the loop on top of the weight.

These are Bad Boys, I use these religiously inshore.

Very solid, used in the surf all day and night, spectacular hold.

Glad to have found the only place to sell it in the US.
The name says it all, it's a great product to make outstanding working bait presentations, especially if you intend to cast them hard and far away,

Purchased these sinkers for some night fishing trip on the beach, I was thinking they were just some kind of cool looking fishing weight to have, but let me say that these sinkers performed great for me on a rather dark night, their glow does give you a way for you to see where your bait is going and if that wasn't enough the rig with the glow sinker did manage to catch the most fish for that night.

Purchased a full set to have a good variety of weights, where I come from we fish with clip down rigs and believe me these things are like an arrow they go the distance and some.

Excellent customer service.
Purchased a mixed set after reaching out and asking questions so that I could understand exactly how they work, my package arrived quickly, and they were very well packaged
They aren't cheap, but they sure are worth it, especially since they are so easy to retrieve

I use them to fish for shark off the beach in Florida, they have been doing a fantastic job keeping our baits in place at 200+ yards.
They really make a difference when reeling them in, legs fold away and that funky shaped tail does seem to lift them off the bottom, and they reel in super easy when compared to other spider weights.
They quickly became my go-to surf fishing weights when dropping baits off for those closer to shore baits.
Definitely recommend them, and they arrived fast, plus customer service is top-notch they really care about their customers.

Extremely pleased with products, these sinkers really hold the bottom with a big bait when others just roll, even on strong currents.
Will definitely keep using these sinkers, after months of use they haven't failed me yet.

Purchased items work and cast just as described, and my package arrived quickly.

This surf casting weights do cast really well.
They also hold bottom like a dream, even in strong surf currents.

Purchased a couple of these just to give them a try, and to my surprise they hold very well under strong currents, even the small 2oz weight does a fantastic job holding my bait in place with a good-sized piece of bait on our light rod.
