Aren't they also called sputniks?

As Bloo said, they are used in current or heavy surf. Guys in Jersey use them in the surf when it is way up and pounding. On days that even 8 oz won't hold, a 6oz sputnik will.

But I would rarely use one around here, except for maybe a place like Duxbury or Plymouth beach, or the sandy areas of South County like Misquamicut Beach, and only on a day that nothing else will hold.
