The Gamakatsu G Finesse Treble Hooks are in a class of their own. These very high grade wire hooks feature a nano coating called Nano Smooth Technology that allows for better hook penetration because the smoothness of the hook slices through much easier.  

The hook point stays sharper because the grade of wire is better, similar to a good knife or a bad knife.  Additionally, it has a short shank and a duller finish so it doesn't reflect light spooking fish.

The Zappu Cocho Cocho Head Plus is unique due to it's wire hook keeper, tungsten head, and ultra sharp Owner hook.  The 45 degree angle on the line tie makes this perfect for a vertical presentation and the downturned beak hook hooks 'em and won't let go.  The hook keeper keeps the plastic worm or swimbait from sliding down and is one of the best designs we've seen.  Produced by Satoshi Okumura, you know every detail has been perfected. It differs from the standard Cocho Cocho in its hook size...the standard Cocho comes with a size 4 hook and the plus features a size 2 hook.

When a hook or tie point needs a dependable connection, the right split ring makes the rigging job straightforward. SPRO Power Split Rings NSB (Nickel Silver Black) pair a subdued, less-shiny finish with a size range covering listed ratings from 32 lb to 185 lb. Choose a ring that fits the hardware and suits the connection you are building.

A darker finish when less flash matters

NSB means Nickel Silver Black. Compared with a bright, shiny ring, its darker finish keeps the hardware visually subdued, a useful choice when you want a lower-flash presentation for wary fish. As with any terminal tackle, check that the ring fits the lure or hook eye cleanly and that the full connection is appropriate for your setup.

Find the size for your connection

Use the listed strength and pack quantity below to compare options. The lb rating is a product specification, not a safe working load for your whole rig; the finished connection is limited by its weakest component.

Made for practical lure and hook rigging

• Use as a hook connection or lure tie point when the ring fits the hardware.
• Useful for routine hook changes on hard baits and other compatible tackle.
• Suitable for freshwater or saltwater setups when you select the size to match your components.

Choose these when a darker finish and multiple size options suit the presentation. The tradeoff is simple: size and fit matter, so do not choose by rating alone or force a ring onto hardware it does not fit.

Three quick rigging checks

• Match the ring's physical size to the eye or attachment point before fishing.
• Use split ring pliers for controlled opening and closing; avoid twisting the ring out of shape.
• Replace rings that are bent, distorted, or no longer close evenly.

Common questions

What does NSB mean?
Nickel Silver Black, the darker, less-shiny finish described for this model.

How do I choose a size?
Check both physical fit and the listed rating against the rest of your connection. Do not treat the rating as the strength of the complete rig.

How many rings come in a pack?
Pack counts vary by size, from 20 rings in size 2 to 6 rings in size 7. See the table for every option.

Finish the hook-swap setup

For controlled ring changes, pair these with Halco Split Ring Pliers. If you are refreshing hard-bait hooks, browse the SPRO McStick 110 Jerkbait and Spro John Crews Little John 50 Crankbait as lure options for your tackle box.

The Z-Man Neko ShroomZ is a specialized nose weight designed to simplify the rigging of Neko rigs, particularly with Z-Man's proprietary ElaZtec material. Because ElaZtech is extremely durable and buoyant, traditional nail weights often fail to penetrate or stay secured; the Neko ShroomZ solves this with a unique hardware design.

Key Features & Design

• Dual-Prong Keeper: Features a stainless steel centering pin for easy alignment and two sharp molded plastic barbs that lock into the bait.

• Mushroom Head: The weighted head is shaped like Z-Man’s famous "ShroomZ" jigheads, which helps the bait rock and pivot on the bottom for a more lifelike action.

• External Weight: Unlike traditional nail weights that are buried inside the plastic, the head remains on the outside, providing increased and better bottom contact.

Round Ball Weights are lead ball sinkers for freshwater and saltwater fishing applications where a spherical sinker profile is preferred over flat or elongated sinker shapes. The round ball shape rolls naturally with current and bottom contour rather than digging in or snagging on rocks and structure, making it one of the most snag-resistant sinker shapes for fishing over mixed bottom. Compatible with Carolina rigs, float rigs, live bait rigs, and surf rigs. Available in 1–4 oz with pack count scaled to weight.

Note: If purchased online, Priority Mail shipping must be selected at checkout.

Key Features

• Round Ball Shape — Rolls with Current, Minimal Snag — The spherical profile rolls naturally with current and bottom contour rather than digging in or catching on rocks, structure, and debris the way flat, bank, or pyramid sinkers do; the round ball shape is one of the most snag-resistant sinker profiles for fishing over rocky, mixed, or irregular bottom; the rolling action also imparts a natural, drifting movement to the bait that can trigger strikes from fish that are following the bait along the bottom.
• Versatile Rig Compatibility — Compatible with the most common sinker rig configurations: Carolina rig (ball sinker threaded on the main line above a swivel and leader), float rig (ball sinker below a float to keep bait at depth), live bait rig (ball sinker to keep live bait at the desired depth in current), and surf rig (ball sinker for rolling presentations in the surf zone); the round profile threads easily onto monofilament and fluorocarbon line.
• Freshwater & Saltwater — Effective across both freshwater and saltwater applications; in freshwater, the round ball sinker is a standard Carolina rig component for bass, catfish, and panfish; in saltwater, it is used for live bait rigs, float rigs, and surf presentations for a wide range of inshore species.
• Pack Count Scaled to Weight — Pack count decreases as weight increases, keeping the total lead weight per pack roughly consistent: 1 oz (6-pack), 2 oz (4-pack), 3 oz (3-pack), 4 oz (2-pack).

Size & Pack Count Guide

Best For

• Carolina Rig — Bass & Freshwater — The round ball sinker is a standard Carolina rig component; thread the ball sinker on the main line above a barrel swivel, attach a fluorocarbon leader and soft plastic trailer, and drag along the bottom; the round shape rolls naturally over rocks and structure with fewer snags than bullet or bank sinkers in rocky bottom conditions.
• Float Rig — Live Bait at Depth — Use the ball sinker below a float to keep live bait at the desired depth in current; the round shape minimizes drag and allows the float rig to drift naturally with current without the sinker catching on bottom structure.
• Live Bait Rigs — Saltwater Inshore — The ball sinker keeps live bait (anchovies, sardines, mackerel) at the desired depth in current for inshore saltwater species; the round shape rolls with current rather than anchoring the bait in one spot, allowing the live bait to move naturally in the current.
• Surf Fishing — Heavier weights (3–4 oz) for surf fishing presentations where the ball sinker rolls with the wave action and current in the surf zone; effective for Barred Surfperch, Corbina, and other surf species that respond to a naturally drifting bait presentation.

The Keitech Tungsten Football Shakey Head is a high-performance, professional-grade jig head from Japan. The football head design features a plastic screw-lock hook keeper that holds soft plastic baits securely without tearing them. The hooks are engineered with a specific bend that increases strength and improves hook-up ratios. Tungsten is significantly harder and denser than lead, enabling a smaller, more compact head profile for the same weight.

Key Features

• 3 per pack
• Tungsten head — harder and denser than lead, smaller profile
• Football head design — ideal for dragging and shaking on the bottom
• Plastic screw-lock hook keeper — holds soft plastics without tearing
• Engineered hook bend — increased strength and hook-up ratio
• Choose your weight and hook size

Available Configurations

Gamakatsu Superline Spring Lock Hooks. The innovative design of the Gamakatsu Superline Spring Lock Hooks enhances the effectiveness of your fishing experience. With a 28% increase in hookset, you'll be able to reel in your catch with ease.

Nako Tungsten Ball Jig Heads deliver maximum sensitivity and a compact profile for bass, walleye, crappie and panfish. Forged from premium tungsten — roughly 30% denser than lead — these round ball jig heads sink faster, cast farther, and transmit every tap, rock and bite straight up the line so you feel the bottom like never before.

Why anglers choose tungsten ball jig heads

• Smaller, heavier profile: Tungsten's density packs more weight into a compact ball head, giving a natural presentation that finicky fish can't resist.
• Unmatched sensitivity: The hardness of tungsten telegraphs structure and strikes for lightning-fast hooksets.
• Razor-sharp hooks: Premium forged hooks in sizes from #2 up to 3/0 for everything from panfish to bass.
• Versatile: Perfect for soft plastics, live bait, drop shot, ned rig, and ice fishing applications.

Available sizes

Choose from weights of 1/16 oz, 1/8 oz, 3/16 oz, 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz paired with hook sizes #2, #1, 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0. Each pack contains 5 jig heads.

Whether you're targeting smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, perch or crappie, Nako Tungsten Ball Jig Heads are a must-have addition to your tackle box.

Owner Tear Drop Split Rings solve a problem standard round split rings create: a knot that slides into the gap under load, contacts the wire edge, and eventually cuts through. The asymmetric teardrop shape puts a wide radius on one end and a narrow radius on the other — the hook or swivel rides the wide end freely, and your line knot naturally seats on the narrow end, away from the split. Cleaner hookups, better lure action, and one less thing to fail when a good fish is running.

Shape Has a Purpose

The teardrop profile does two things a round ring can't. First, the wide end gives hooks and trebles more room to swing freely, which noticeably improves the action of hard baits — especially jerkbaits, crankbaits, and topwater walkers where restricted hardware kills the built-in wiggle. Second, the narrow end acts as a natural positioning guide for your knot, keeping it away from the gap without you having to think about it. Black chrome stainless construction handles both freshwater and saltwater without corroding onto lure hardware.

What Standard Round Rings Get Wrong

On a round split ring, everything sits at the same diameter — knot, hook eye, and the gap are all competing for the same space. Under a hard strike or a head-shaking fish, the knot migrates toward the gap. Once it's there, the wire edge works on the line with every movement. The teardrop eliminates that geometry entirely: your connection naturally routes away from the gap, and the hook has room to articulate without the ring itself restricting its movement.

What Sets Them Apart

• Teardrop Asymmetric Profile — Wide end for free hook movement; narrow end positions the knot away from the split gap
• Anti-Slip Knot Seating — Geometry keeps line contact away from the wire edge under load
• High-Strength Stainless Steel — Black chrome finish resists corrosion in freshwater and saltwater
• Forged Construction — Rated 22–88 lb across the size range; won't deform under sustained pressure
• Improved Lure Action — More freedom of movement at the hook point vs. standard round rings
• 10-Pack Quantities — Enough per pack to re-ring a full tackle box or stock a season of upgrades

The Right Pick If…

• You're upgrading factory split rings on jerkbaits, crankbaits, or topwater lures
• You want a ring that naturally keeps your knot away from the gap without extra steps
• You fish hard baits where restricted hook movement hurts lure action
• You need rings that hold up in saltwater without corroding onto the lure
• You want a stronger, better-designed alternative to OEM hardware at a low per-ring cost

Best Fishing Techniques

• Hook replacement on crankbaits and jerkbaits — swap dull trebles and upgrade the ring at the same time
• Nose-ring upgrade on stickbaits and walking baits — teardrop shape improves walk-the-dog action over round rings
• Direct line-to-lure tie — narrow end naturally seats the knot away from the gap
• Swivel-to-lure connections on trolling rigs — Size 3–4 for medium to heavy applications

Best Conditions

• Saltwater inshore and offshore — black chrome stainless resists corrosion between trips
• Clear water bass fishing — improved lure action on jerkbaits makes a visible difference
• Heavy cover and hard-fighting species — forged construction holds under shock loads
• Tournament prep — re-ring your whole lineup before the season so hardware isn't the failure point

Best For

• Size 1 (22 lb) — Light inshore lures, small bass cranks, finesse jerkbaits
• Size 2 (39 lb) — Medium jerkbaits, saltwater plugs, standard bass hard baits
• Size 3 (55 lb) — Larger swimbaits, offshore plugs, striped bass and inshore applications
• Size 4 (88 lb) — Heavy trolling rigs, big-game hard baits, offshore applications

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Use the right pliers for the size. Smaller Sizes 1–2 open with lighter-duty split ring pliers — using oversized pliers on small rings deforms the wire. Texas Tackle makes several sizes; match the plier to the ring.
• Orient the teardrop intentionally. When rigging, place your hook or swivel on the wide end of the ring. Your line knot naturally sits on the narrow end — that's by design, but it helps to consciously thread correctly the first time.
• Re-ring after any bent or deformed ring. A split ring that's been forced open too wide or bent under a big fish should be replaced even if it looks okay — the stress point is invisible and it will fail at the worst moment.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between Tear Drop and Hyper Wire split rings?
A: Hyper Wire rings are round and offer a wider size range (Size 1–11, up to 250 lb) — ideal when you need specific rated strength for a given application. Tear Drop rings are teardrop-shaped, which improves lure action and naturally seats the knot away from the gap. For most hard bait applications, the Tear Drop is the better upgrade; for pure strength or offshore rigging, the Hyper Wire range goes higher.

Q: Can I use these in saltwater?
A: Yes. The black chrome stainless finish holds up well in salt. Rinse your lures after each saltwater session to maximize the life of all hardware.

Q: Will these fit my existing lure hardware?
A: In most cases, yes — Owner sizes these to match common lure manufacturer specs. Size 2 fits the majority of standard bass hard baits. If you're upgrading factory rings, match the new ring to the diameter of the original.

Nako Tungsten Worm Weights give bass anglers a compact, sensitive way to add weight to Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, worms, craws, and creature baits. Made from 97% pure tungsten, these weights are denser than lead, so they can deliver more bottom feedback in a smaller profile.

The polished, insert-free design is made to help protect your line, while the durable no-chip coating and stamped size markings make the weights easier to identify and keep working through repeated use. Choose Black or Green Pumpkin and match the size to the depth, cover, and fall rate you want.

Why Tungsten Earns a Place on the Line

Weight choice changes how a soft plastic reaches the bottom and how much information comes back through the line. Tungsten packs more density into a smaller profile than lead, giving you a compact presentation and clearer contact with underwater structure. That smaller footprint is especially useful when you want the weight to complement the bait instead of overpowering it.

The Bulky-Weight Problem It Solves

Large, rough, or poorly marked weights can make a finesse rig feel clumsy and harder to manage. Nako's worm weights use a polished, insert-free design, stamped size markings, and a no-chip finish to make the rig easier to identify, tie, and fish. The lead-free tungsten construction also gives anglers an alternative to traditional lead weights.

Built for Bottom-Oriented Bass Rigs

• Texas rigs with worms, craws, and creature baits
• Carolina rigs when the weight needs to lead the presentation
• Soft-plastic worm fishing where a compact weight is preferred
• Bottom contact around structure, changes in depth, and cover
• Black or Green Pumpkin color choices for different rig looks
• Size selection from 1/16 oz through 3/8 oz

The Right Pick If...

• You want tungsten density in a smaller profile than a comparable lead weight.
• You fish Texas or Carolina rigs with worms, craws, or creature baits.
• You want a weight with a polished, insert-free finish for use with finesse line.
• You prefer weights with the size stamped directly on the body.
• You want Black or Green Pumpkin instead of an uncoated metal finish.

What It Does Best, and When to Choose Something Else

Nako Tungsten Worm Weights are strongest when compact size, bottom feedback, and controlled soft-plastic rigging matter. Choose a different weight style when you specifically need a drop-shot cylinder, nail weight, flipping weight, or another shape built for a different rig. The correct shape is part of the presentation, not just a detail.

How to Choose and Fish the Weight

Start with the lightest size that reaches the bottom and keeps the bait moving the way you want. Use 1/16 oz or 3/32 oz for a lighter finesse presentation, 1/8 oz or 3/16 oz as versatile middle choices, and 1/4 oz, 5/16 oz, or 3/8 oz when you need more weight for depth, current, or a faster fall.

For a Texas rig, pair the weight with a worm, craw, or creature bait and adjust the size until you can feel the bottom without making the presentation unnecessarily heavy. For a Carolina rig, use the weight as the leading point of contact and let the bait follow behind it. If your selected model is a screw-in style, seat it securely in the soft plastic before fishing.

Best Conditions

Reach for these weights when you need reliable bottom contact, a compact rig profile, or clearer feedback from structure and bites. Go lighter in shallow water or when the bait needs a slower fall. Move heavier as depth, current, wind, or cover makes it harder to keep the rig where you want it.

Color Guide

• Black: A dark, low-glare option for a traditional worm-weight look.
• Green Pumpkin: A natural-looking option that pairs easily with green pumpkin and other earth-tone soft plastics.

Key Features

• 97% pure tungsten: Dense material for a compact rig profile.
• Smaller than lead: The dense construction is designed to provide a more compact presentation than lead.
• Polished and insert-free: Smooth finish designed to help reduce line damage, including when using thin finesse line.
• No-chip coating: Durable color treatment in Black and Green Pumpkin.
• Stamped size markings: Identify the weight without guessing.
• Texas- and Carolina-rig ready: Designed for worms, craws, and creature baits.
• Lead-free alternative: Tungsten construction without traditional lead material.

Models & Specs

Prices are intentionally omitted so the table stays useful when pricing changes.

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the weight to the bottom, not just the water depth. The best size is the one that keeps contact without making the rig feel heavy.
• Check the stamped marking before tying on. Moving from 1/8 oz to 3/16 oz can change the fall and bottom feel more than a color change will.
• Pair the weight with a hook and soft plastic that balance its profile. A compact weight works best when the rest of the rig stays purposeful and clean.

FAQ

What are Nako Tungsten Worm Weights used for?
They are designed for bass fishing applications including Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, worms, craws, and creature baits.
