Nako Tungsten Tear Free Rig Weights: 

• Closed round eye model - The round eye is made for the free rig. 97% Tungsten provides an increased hardness and improves feel for the underwater structure, good for “power shotting”, drop shotting in deep water or drop shotting in extremely windy or adverse conditions.
• The Tear Design - The tear design is perfect for those times when you need to slow down and finesse fish to trigger a bite.
• 50% smaller profile than lead weights - Tungsten is denser than lead and therefore much more compact and offer better signal on underwater objects.
• The size printed on the weight - Easy to find the weight when fishing, most customers love this feature.
• Eco-friendly - Lead weights are toxic to water, fish, and the human body. Use tungsten weights that don’t have the toxic characteristics of lead.
• No Chip or Fade - With special solvent treatment and coating, Nako tungsten weights are more robust and durable than the lead weights and other brand tungsten weights.
• Quantity - 5 weights per pack

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.

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.

Japan’s top tungsten company is now in the USA. The unique Reins tungsten down shot sinker design makes it easier to pull thru rocks, weeds, or brush with fewer hang ups. Reins tungsten down shot sinkers give you the ultimate performance with a specific gravity of 18.2, each sinker is 40% smaller than its lead counterpart. Reins down shot sinkers are made up of 95% tungsten and 5% nickle alloy making them 1.8 times as dense as lead and environmentally safe. The dense tungsten material allows you to feel every pebble along the bottom making it easier to tell a strike from a nibble.

Available in multiple sizes, the Reins TG Tungsten Down Shot Sinkers are also environmentally safe to help protect our fisheries.

The Reins TG Tungsten Nail Sinkers are pressed directly into the soft plastic bait — no threading on the line, no rigging changes. Press the nail sinker into the nose of a worm for a Neko rig, insert it into the middle of a wacky worm to control the sink rate, or press it into any soft bait to fine-tune the weight and balance of the presentation. Made from 95% tungsten / 5% nickel alloy, each nail sinker is 1.8× as dense as lead and environmentally safe. Available in five sizes from 1/16 oz to 3/16 oz with variable pack counts.

Key Features

• Press-In Design — Insert Directly Into the Bait — The nail sinker format is pressed directly into the soft plastic bait rather than threaded on the line; the nail shape allows it to be inserted into the nose, tail, or body of any soft plastic bait to add weight exactly where needed without changing the rig; the tungsten nail holds securely in the plastic without pulling out during the cast or retrieve.
• 95% Tungsten / 5% Nickel Alloy — 1.8× Denser Than Lead — The 95% tungsten composition makes each nail sinker 1.8× as dense as lead, producing a smaller, more compact nail profile at the same weight; the higher density also transmits vibration more efficiently, making bottom contact and subtle bites more detectable; the nickel alloy binder makes the sinker environmentally safe.
• Fine-Tune Any Presentation — Use nail sinkers to fine-tune the weight and balance of any soft plastic presentation; add weight to one side of a wacky worm to control the fall angle, insert into the nose of a weightless bait to slow the sink rate, or add weight to the tail of a swimbait to change the action; the nail format allows precise weight placement that a slip sinker or split shot cannot achieve.
• 5 Sizes — Variable Pack Counts — Five sizes from 1/16 oz to 3/16 oz; pack count decreases with weight (larger sinkers = fewer per pack).

Size & Pack Count Guide

Best For

• Neko Rig — Primary Application — Insert the nail sinker into the nose (head end) of a straight worm and hook through the middle with a wacky rig hook or O-ring; the nose weight causes the worm to fall head-down with the tail kicking up, producing a unique action on the fall and on the shake that triggers strikes from bass holding tight to bottom structure; use 1/8–3/16 oz for standard Neko rig depths.
• Wacky Rig — Sink Rate Control — Insert the nail sinker into the nose or tail of a wacky-rigged worm to control the sink rate and fall angle; a nail in the nose causes the worm to fall at an angle with the nose leading; a nail in the tail causes the opposite; use 1/16–3/32 oz for a slow, natural fall in shallow water and 1/8–3/16 oz for deeper water or when a faster sink rate is needed.
• Weightless Bait Fine-Tuning — Press a nail sinker into any weightless soft plastic to add a precise amount of weight without changing the rig; effective for slowing the sink rate of a weightless fluke, adding weight to one side of a soft jerkbait to change the fall angle, or adding nose weight to a creature bait on a weedless hook.

Compact Tungsten Weight for More Feel on the Bottom

The Reins TG Tungsten Slip Sinker gives freshwater anglers a smaller, more sensitive alternative to traditional lead weights. Made with 95% tungsten and 5% nickel alloy, it has a specific gravity of 18.2 and is approximately 40% smaller than a comparable lead sinker. That compact profile helps your rig move through cover with less bulk while keeping more feedback in your hands.

Choose Black or Green Pumpkin, then match the weight to the depth, current, cover, and presentation you are fishing. The lineup runs from finesse-friendly 1/16 oz sizes through 1 oz options for heavier bottom-contact work.

Why the Smaller Profile Matters

A tungsten slip sinker puts less material around your line than lead for the same listed weight. That can help the rig enter cover more cleanly, maintain bottom contact, and transmit changes in bottom composition or a light bite more clearly. Reins also uses an inner core system designed to help reduce line abrasion as the sinker slides along the line.

The Right Pick If...

• You want a compact sliding weight for freshwater bass and other bottom-oriented presentations.
• You fish punching, flipping, Texas-rig, or other techniques where size and sensitivity both matter.
• You need a broad weight range, from 1/16 oz finesse work through 1 oz heavy cover and deeper water applications.
• You prefer tungsten's dense feel and reduced profile over a larger lead sinker.

How to Choose a Size

Start light when you are fishing shallow water, sparse cover, or a slower-falling presentation. Move up in weight when you need to hold bottom in deeper water, current, wind, or thick cover. The lighter 1/16 oz through 3/16 oz sizes suit finesse-minded rigs, while the 1/4 oz through 7/16 oz range covers many everyday bottom-contact situations. The 1/2 oz through 1 oz sizes are the choice when you need a faster fall or more authority in heavy cover.

Use the color that best fits your terminal-tackle setup: Black is a clean all-purpose choice, while Green Pumpkin keeps the look closer to common natural-color soft plastics.

Models & Specs

Available sizes: 1/16 oz, 3/32 oz, 1/8 oz, 3/16 oz, 1/4 oz, 5/16 oz, 3/8 oz, 7/16 oz, 1/2 oz, 5/8 oz, 3/4 oz, and 1 oz. Pack details for the 5/8 oz variant were not included in the current source listing, so they are not guessed here.

Tackle Express Tips

• Pair a lighter sinker with a more controlled fall, then increase weight until the rig reaches bottom without overpowering the presentation.
• When fishing around rock, wood, or vegetation, the compact tungsten shape can help the rig stay manageable without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Inspect the line around the sinker after fishing heavy cover. Replace damaged line before the next trip, even when using a line-protecting inner-core design.

The Reins TG Tungsten Slip Sinker — Super Heavy Weight is the 1.5–2.5 oz range of Reins’ tungsten slip sinker lineup — built for punching heavy matted vegetation, deep water Texas rigs, and any application where maximum weight in a minimum profile is required. Made from 95% tungsten / 5% nickel alloy with a specific gravity of 18.2, each sinker is 40% smaller than its lead counterpart at the same weight and 1.8× as dense. The inner core system protects your line from abrasion inside the sinker bore. Available in Black and Green Pumpkin for color-matching to your worm or trailer. 1 per pack.

Key Features

• 95% Tungsten / 5% Nickel Alloy — Specific Gravity 18.2 — The 95% tungsten composition delivers a specific gravity of 18.2 — 1.8× denser than lead; the higher density means the sinker is 40% smaller than a lead sinker at the same weight, producing a more compact profile that punches through matted vegetation more easily and presents a smaller, less intrusive weight on the Texas rig; the nickel alloy binder makes the sinker environmentally safe compared to pure lead.
• 40% Smaller Profile — Better Punch-Through & Sensitivity — The compact tungsten profile punches through matted vegetation more efficiently than a lead sinker of the same weight; the smaller nose cuts through the mat cleanly and the higher density carries the bait through faster; the higher density also transmits bottom contact and subtle bites more clearly through the line, making it easier to detect bites in heavy cover where feel is critical.
• Inner Core Line Guard — Protects Line from Abrasion — The inner bore of the sinker features an inner core system that protects the line from being abraded by the tungsten as the sinker slides; tungsten is harder than lead and can cut line without a line guard; the inner core prevents line wear that could cause break-offs on big fish.
• Unique Shape — Reduced Hang-Ups — The sinker’s unique shape is designed to reduce hang-ups on bottom structure; the profile deflects off rocks, wood, and debris more efficiently than a standard bullet weight, keeping the bait moving through cover.
• Color-Matched — Black & Green Pumpkin — Available in Black and Green Pumpkin to match the color of your worm or trailer; color-matching the sinker to the bait creates a more natural, cohesive presentation that reduces the visual contrast between the sinker and the bait.
• 1 Per Pack — Super Heavy Weight Range — One sinker per pack in the super heavy weight range (1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 oz).

Weight Selection Guide

Best For

• Punching Heavy Matted Vegetation — The primary application for super heavy slip sinkers; the compact tungsten profile punches through thick matted hydrilla, milfoil, and lily pad mats more efficiently than lead; use 2.0–2.5 oz for the heaviest mats where a lighter sinker won’t penetrate; pair with a heavy flipping hook and a compact creature bait or chunk trailer.
• Deep Water Texas Rig — Use the 1.5–2.0 oz for deep water Texas rig applications (20–40 ft) where getting the bait to the bottom quickly is critical; the compact tungsten profile sinks faster than lead at the same weight and the higher sensitivity helps detect bites at depth on heavy fluorocarbon.
• Heavy Current — The super heavy weight range is effective in strong current situations (river fishing, tidal fisheries) where lighter sinkers are swept off the bottom; the compact profile also creates less drag in current than a larger lead sinker of the same weight.

Tungsten changes everything. The Strike King Tour Grade Tungsten Swinging Football Head is denser and more compact than lead, transmitting every tick, tap, and drag of the bottom straight to your hands. But what sets it apart is the swivel eye attachment — your hook swings freely, amplifying your trailer's action in a way a fixed jig simply can't match. Swap in any hook and trailer you want, dial in your presentation, and let the tungsten do the talking.

Key Features

• 100% tungsten — denser and more sensitive than lead, smaller profile for the same weight
• Swivel eye hook attachment — free-swinging motion that intensifies trailer action
• Use any hook and trailer — ultimate versatility for any finesse presentation
• Football head design — rocks and stands up on the bottom to trigger strikes
• Available in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 oz — covers finesse to deep water applications
• Sold in 1-pack (3/4 oz) and 2-pack (1/4, 3/8, 1/2 oz)

Specifications

Team Davies Tear Shot Tungsten Worm Weights are 99% tungsten and do not have a sleeve inside.  There is a lot of talk about what is better, sleeve or no sleeve.  We prefer no sleeve because the sleeve can cause abrasion on the ends but can also fall out.  When it falls out, it's rougher in the inside than it would have been had it no sleeve at all.  When it starts out with no sleeve, the inside is smooth and usually has a powder paint coating to deter any nicks or damage to your line.  We've had more problems with sleeved weights than non sleeve and Team Davies agrees.  We have never had a complaint for over 4 years and we think these are a great value for a great product.

Some anglers like the sleeve, others prefer it without.  We haven't noticed any difference between the two but maybe on light line it would cause chaffing on the line.

When a soft-plastic worm needs to get down cleanly without turning your presentation into a bulky package, reach for VMC Tungsten Worm Weights. Tungsten packs more density into a smaller profile than traditional lead, giving you a compact bullet weight with improved feel and a more discreet look around cover.

Use them when you want better contact with the bottom, more control over a deeper presentation, and less weight hanging up than a larger lead alternative. The result is a worm rig that casts accurately, settles quickly, and lets you stay in touch with subtle changes in the bottom.

Why This Weight Makes a Difference

• Compact tungsten profile: About 35% smaller than comparable lead weights, helping reduce bulk and the chance of snagging.
• More sensitivity: Tungsten transmits bottom contact and light movements more clearly than a lower-density lead weight.
• Easy rig tuning: Seven weight options let you match fall speed, depth, current, and cover.
• Two proven finishes: Choose Black or Green Pumpkin to coordinate with your presentation.
• Flexible pack sizes: Pack quantity varies by weight, so the lighter sizes come in larger counts while the heavier sizes are supplied in smaller packs.

The Right Pick If...

You fish soft-plastic worms in freshwater and want a denser, more compact alternative to lead. Choose a lighter size for a slower fall and shallower water, then step up when you need to reach deeper water, work through more cover, or keep contact in moving water.

Match the Weight to the Situation

How to Fish Them

Thread one ahead of a soft-plastic worm when you need a controlled, bottom-oriented presentation. Peg the weight when you want the weight and worm to work as one through cover, or leave it sliding when you want the weight to move independently and help you read the bottom. Start light in shallow, calm water and increase weight as depth, wind, current, or cover demands.

Tackle Express Tips

• Use the smallest weight that still keeps your worm in the zone. It preserves a more natural fall and reduces unnecessary bulk.
• Choose Black for a traditional dark profile, or Green Pumpkin when you want the weight to blend with common freshwater soft-plastic colors.
• Keep several sizes rigged and ready. A quick weight change can restore bottom contact when conditions change.

FAQ

Why choose tungsten over lead?
Tungsten is denser, so the weight can be more compact while delivering better sensitivity and a reduced profile.

Which size should I start with?
Start with 1/16 oz or 1/8 oz for a lighter, slower presentation. Move up through 3/16 oz, 1/4 oz, 5/16 oz, 3/8 oz, or 1/2 oz as depth, wind, current, or cover increases.

How many weights come in a pack?
Pack quantity depends on the size: 1/16 oz includes five, 1/8 oz and 3/16 oz include four, 1/4 oz through 3/8 oz include three, and 1/2 oz includes two.

Complete the Setup
