The light end of surf lead — for calm mornings, slack tide and beaches with little sweep.
The pyramid's flat faces and sharp edges dig into sand and hold position where a rounded sinker would roll down the beach into your neighbor's line.
Fish the lightest pyramid that actually holds. Overweighting a pompano rig kills the natural movement of the baits and gets fewer bites — but a rig that will not stay in the trough catches nothing at all, so carry the range from 2oz up.
