Reins

Japan’s top tungsten company is now in the USA. Reins offers you the widest range of sizes in slip sinkers. From the small 1/16 oz to our massive 2.5 oz, nobody delivers as many different options in slip sinkers. Reins Tungsten Slip Sinkers give you the ultimate performance with a specific gravity of 18.2, each sinker is 40% smaller than its lead counterpart.

Reins slip sinkers are made up of 95% tungsten and 5% nickle alloy making them 1.8 times as dense as lead and environmentally safe. The unique shapes provide less hang-ups on bottom structures with increased sensitivity which equals less drag on your line. If you have trouble feeling a bite, then you need to switch to Reins tungsten sinkers. Reins utilizes a inner core system to keep your line from being abraded, nobody wants to lose a big fish because their line was worn from the sinker.

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.

Reins TG Football Jigheads bring Japan’s top tungsten technology to the football jig format — a tungsten head that is 40% smaller than a lead football head at the same weight, with higher density that transmits bottom contact and subtle bites more clearly through the rod. The football head shape rocks and rolls over rocky bottom, gravel, and hard structure without hanging up, and the flat bottom keeps the jighead upright with the hook riding up on the pause. Hook Size 2/0. 2 per package. Available in 5/16 oz, 3/8 oz, and 1/2 oz.

Key Features

• Tungsten — 40% Smaller Profile at Same Weight — Tungsten is 40% smaller than lead at the same weight; the smaller profile cuts through the water column faster, gets to the bottom quicker in current and deep water, and presents a more compact jighead profile that matches smaller forage; the higher density of tungsten also transmits vibration more efficiently through the line, making bottom composition (rock, gravel, sand, clay) and subtle bites more detectable.
• Football Head Shape — Rocky Bottom & Hard Structure — The football head shape is designed for fishing over rocky bottom, gravel, chunk rock, and hard structure; the rounded football profile rocks and rolls over rocks without hanging up, and the flat bottom keeps the jighead upright with the hook riding up on the pause — the natural position that triggers strikes from bass holding tight to bottom structure.
• 2/0 Hook — Solid Hooksets — The 2/0 hook size is matched to the football head for a balanced presentation with standard trailer sizes; the hook geometry is designed for solid hooksets on the long-distance retrieves common in football jig fishing on ledges and deep structure.
• Reins — Japan’s Top Tungsten Company — Made by Reins, Japan’s leading tungsten fishing tackle manufacturer; the same tungsten quality used by Japanese tournament anglers now available in the USA.
• 2 Per Package — Two jigheads per package across three weight options.

Weight Selection Guide

Best For

• Rocky Bottom & Chunk Rock — The primary application for football jigs; drag or hop the jighead slowly over rocky bottom and chunk rock; the football head rocks and rolls over rocks without hanging up and the tungsten transmits every rock contact through the rod for precise bottom reading.
• Ledge Fishing — Deep Summer Bass — One of the most effective presentations for deep ledge bass in summer; drag the football jig along the ledge edge and pause on the drop; the 1/2 oz size gets to the bottom quickly in 20–30+ ft of water and the tungsten sensitivity helps detect the subtle bites common in deep water ledge fishing.
• Gravel & Hard Bottom Points — Effective on gravel points, hard bottom flats, and transition areas where bass are feeding on crawfish; the football head stays upright on the pause, presenting the trailer in a natural crawfish defensive posture.

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.
