Reins TG Tungsten Nail Sinkers

$8.00

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

Size	Pack Count	Best Application
1/16 oz	6	Wacky rig (light sink rate), weightless bait fine-tuning, shallow water
3/32 oz	4	Wacky rig (moderate sink rate), Neko rig (light), finesse presentations
1/8 oz	3	Neko rig (standard), wacky rig (faster sink), moderate depth
5/32 oz	3	Neko rig (heavier), deeper water wacky & Neko, stronger current
3/16 oz	2	Deep water Neko rig, heavy current, maximum sink rate control

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.
