I have gotten advice on here to use anywhere from 4 oz. to 16 oz. sinkers to keep my bait down when fishing below the Winfield Dam or wing dikes etc. on the Mississippi River.
What is the best type for a sinker that big? I plan on buying sinker molds and pouring them myself.
While I only use regular banksinkers, it seems almost everyone recommends the "no-rolls". I have seen them made and they do look very good for high current. So, your choice is me, who can't catch a fish, or all the other Mississippi River fishermen who use no-rolls. Who ya gonna believe?

I would say that all depends on the size of bait/line you use. Almost all of the time I use really big baits/heavy line and small sinkers do no good. I normally dont bother putting less than 4oz on big baitcasters if i need weight at all, and thats with no current.
