Breakaway Drone Sinkers – 8oz & 10oz Surf Sinkers

The Breakaway Drone Sinker is designed specifically for surf casting in rough conditions, helping keep your bait exactly where you want it. With strong stainless breakout wires that grip the sand, these sinkers hold firmly in place even in heavy surf and strong currents.

Perfect for New Zealand surf fishing, these sinkers allow anglers to cast further and keep baits anchored in productive zones where species like snapper, kahawai, trevally, and other coastal fish are feeding.

When it’s time to retrieve your line, the breakaway wires fold back under tension, releasing the sinker from the seabed for a smooth and easy retrieve.

Why Use Breakaway Sinkers?

Traditional sinkers can easily be dragged by waves and current. Breakaway sinkers solve this by anchoring into the sand, keeping your bait exactly where fish are feeding while still allowing easy retrieval when you wind in.

A must-have for serious surfcasters fishing New Zealand’s dynamic beach conditions.
