I'd highly tell you no on that sinker. Those cheapos DO NOT cut water at all. You get sucked into a current and you won't be going anywhere soon. They're great for slack water but fighting currents and you'll be SOL. Now, if you put a set of 10' oars on tha ouutcast, then you'll haave enough leverage to pull the boat out of the current. I've put in before near the slag pile and almost didn't make it back. Now if I wuolda had a kayak I could've cut the water enough to fight the current.
