Lead Masters Torpedo Sinker Weights give Southern California saltwater anglers a straightforward way to get bait down to the fish. Made locally in Southern California, these USA-made lead weights have brass attachment ends on both sides for multiple rigging styles, from bottom-fishing dropper loops to tuna sinker rigs.
Get Your Bait Down, Not Swept Away
When drift and current keep your bait above the zone you want to fish, choosing the right sinker weight helps you regain control of the presentation. Keep several sizes ready so you can adjust as depth and conditions change rather than forcing one weight to do every job.
These are a staple for halibut, rockfish, white seabass, calico bass and ocean whitefish. Choose them when your setup calls for an attachable weight with an end connection, rather than a sliding sinker threaded directly onto your line. They add useful rigging flexibility, but they are not a substitute for selecting the right weight for the day's conditions.
From Dropper Loops to Tuna Sinker Rigs
Use a dropper loop or reverse dropper loop for bottom-oriented bait presentations, or incorporate a torpedo weight into your tuna sinker rig when you need to fish below the surface. Match your leader and hook to the bait, target species and rig. For leader material, consider Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader; for a heavier circle-hook setup, consider Owner Super Mutu Circle Hooks.
Best for: saltwater bait fishing, dropper loop rigs, reverse dropper loop rigs, tuna sinker rigs, and targeting halibut, rockfish, white seabass, calico bass and ocean whitefish. Carry a range for changing drift, current and fishing depth. There is no single ounce size that is right for every trip.

Tackle Express Tips
- Bring adjacent weight sizes. Moving up or down one size is often more useful than trying to fish the same sinker through every change in drift.
- Use enough weight to reach and manage your intended depth, then reassess when current or boat drift changes.
- Count individual sinkers, not just packs, when preparing for a trip. Quantities vary by size.
Questions Before You Rig Up
Which rigs work with torpedo sinkers?
These weights are used for dropper loop rigs, reverse dropper loop rigs and tuna sinker rigs. The brass ends provide attachment points for different setups.
What size should I choose?
Choose according to depth, drift, current and your rig. Carry several sizes rather than relying on a fixed weight-to-depth rule, and follow your captain's recommendation on a charter trip.
Are these wire through for tuna?
No these are not wire through for Eddy Bombs or Tuna Bombs but we have those on our site from Dolphin.
Where are these weights made?
They are made in Southern California, USA.
Lead Masters Glow Egg Sinkers have one of the best glow paints we've seen. They absorb the light quickly and stay lit for a long time. The smooth surface inside the sinker won't damage your line.
These are great for night fishing or for fish that are attracted to light. We've noticed that many time in low light or in deep water, the glow of an egg sinker is enough to bring fish from a long way off and tends to get them to bite better than a regular egg sinker.
Tie one of this on for your next trip, the Lead Masters Glow Egg Sinker may make the difference between no fish and lots of fish.

Lead Masters Egg Sinkers help you put bait below the surface offshore and build versatile Carolina rigs in freshwater. These lead weights offer a simple way to adjust your presentation without changing the rest of your tackle box, with standard and bulk-pack options for different trips and fishing habits.
Get Below the Birds and Into the Water Column
On Southern California live-bait trips, a little added weight can help get your bait below surface-feeding birds and deeper into the water column. When an unweighted bait is staying too high, an egg sinker gives you another way to reach the zone you want to fish. Start with a lighter option and adjust to the current, bait and depth rather than adding unnecessary weight.
In freshwater, these sinkers are a familiar choice for Carolina rig fishing. Choose them when you want a sliding weight on the line ahead of your leader. Their straightforward design is useful across different bait presentations, but the right size still depends on conditions; a heavier sinker is not automatically a better presentation.
One Style, Two Useful Roles
For saltwater live-bait fishing, select enough weight to help your bait reach the intended depth while keeping the setup suited to your bait and target. For freshwater Carolina rigs, match the weight to the depth, bottom and retrieve you plan to fish. Bass anglers can use this approach to work a bait along the bottom with a separate leader section.
Match your leader material to the rig and conditions; Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader is one option to consider. If your setup calls for an end-attachment weight instead of a sliding egg sinker, compare Lead Masters Torpedo Sinker Weights.
Best for: Southern California saltwater live-bait presentations, getting bait beneath surface activity, freshwater Carolina rigs and bottom-oriented bass presentations. Carry several weights for changing current, fishing depth and bait size.

Tackle Express Tips
- For offshore bait fishing, try a small weight change before rebuilding your rig. The goal is to reach your intended zone, not simply fish the heaviest sinker.
- Keep nearby sizes together so you can adjust quickly when the current or drift changes.
- Check pack counts when stocking up. The 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 oz sizes each have separate standard and bulk options.
Before You Pick a Pack
Can I use these in both saltwater and freshwater?
Yes. The listing's main applications are Southern California offshore live-bait fishing and freshwater Carolina rigs.
Are all options bulk packs?
No. This listing includes standard packs, a 1/8 oz 24 pack, and designated bulk packs in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 oz. Use the table and selected option to compare quantities.
Which weight should I choose?
Match the weight to your depth, current, bait and technique. Use enough to manage the presentation and adjust when conditions change; there is no single weight that fits every trip.
How are these different from torpedo sinkers?
Egg sinkers suit sliding-weight presentations, while the linked torpedo sinkers have brass end attachments for rigs that call for a tied-on or attached weight. Choose the style your rig requires.

Choose a weight and shape
Start lighter in shallow, calm water when you can maintain control. Move up in weight if wind, current, depth, or a long cast makes it difficult to track the rig. Use the lightest option that reliably does the job, while staying within your rod's rating.
The slender finesse shape is worth trying around rock where a round sinker may wedge. No shape eliminates hang-ups. For sand or mud, compare the broader contact of Bullet Weights Round Drop Shot Weights.
Rigging guidance
Tie your drop-shot hook with a tag end long enough for the spacing you want below the bait. Pass the tag through the weight's clip opening and draw it into the narrow gripping section. Check the hold before casting. Adjust the weight's position to change hook-to-weight spacing, and inspect the line whenever you move or replace it.
3 Tackle Express Tips
- Distinguish bottom contact from excess weight. If you cannot follow the rig, try the next weight up. If it digs in or hangs repeatedly, change your angle or presentation as well as the sinker.
- Check the clip area. Inspect the tag end for abrasion after snags and adjustments. Trim damaged line or re-rig rather than assuming the clip cannot harm it.
- Keep bait movement controlled. Once the sinker settles, use small rod movements and pauses. Watch how much movement reaches the bait instead of constantly dragging the weight.
Frequently asked questions
Are these lead or tungsten weights?
This listing is the lead Finesse Drop Shot model.
How many weights come in a pack?
The 1/8-ounce pack has 7; 3/16- and 1/4-ounce packs have 6; the 3/8-ounce pack has 5.
Do I tie a knot to the weight?
The clip is designed to grip the tag end without a separate weight knot. Check that it holds your line before casting.
Will the finesse shape prevent every snag?
No. It offers a slim profile to try around rock, but the bottom, retrieve angle, and line placement still affect hang-ups.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Pair these weights with VMC RedLine Series Hybrid Worm Hooks or Owner Haymaker Worm Hooks, then add a soft plastic such as Yamamoto Uni Soft Plastic Bait to build a complete freshwater worm rig.
Stock both finishes and a range of sizes so you can keep your presentation compact, sensitive, and properly tuned from shallow water to deeper cover.
