I prefer banks when drifting say for fluke or bass. When anchored on rocks and wrecks I use flats., when I run out, a sledge and an anvil does the job no matter how much it weighs.

Capt Frank...Don't go calling a " coin " or " river bank " sinker as a flattened bank sinker.. Sledge hammers work very well....

Agree with most other posts here.

Flats tend to "roll" less than banks and are preferred IMO

It doesn't matter the size, shape, or wt of a sinker when fishing in real "junk" bottom. Hung up is just plain hung up! Flats tend to come out more, but this is subjective since I fish exclusively flats.

Not every bait store carries the flat sinkers....SAM is the MAN... KING of "if it fits it ships"
