These are made from from a soft 1.2mm stainless steel wire & holds well in strong currents. But unlike the previous two this wire will give against snags upon retrieval making it suitable for beach fishing. Once reeled in the wires can be re-shaped (again & again). The fixed grip wires are straight when you get them & can be bent to the required shape. We consider the curved shape illustrated on this page to be the optimum for gripping power but the choice is yours! Also the wires can be cut shorter and/or the sleeving removed to alter the dynamics of the sinker as required.
