Tungsten Worm Weight – 1/16 oz (4 Pack)
Description
Master Finesse Presentations with the Tungsten Edge 1/16 oz Worm Weight
When pressured bass demand subtlety, a heavy lead weight will spook more fish than it hooks. The Tungsten Edge 1/16 oz Worm Weight is the ultimate finesse tool, small, dense, and ultra-sensitive. At 97% pure tungsten, it delivers maximum feel in a compact package that is up to 40% smaller than lead. That means longer casts, quieter entries, and more hook-ups when bass are wary.
Every detail matters. The 97% tungsten construction delivers unmatched sensitivity. The ultra-compact size penetrates cover where bulky lead weights get hung. The insert-free bore is diamond polished to protect your line from frays. The matte black powder coating resists chips and reduces unnatural flash. Each weight is laser etched with its size for fast identification.
The high-density tungsten construction transmits every pebble, shell, and blade of grass straight up your line. This tiny 1/16 oz weight is perfect for shallow finesse presentations where sensitivity and stealth are everything.
Best Applications: Perfect for Texas rigs with finesse worms, shallow pond bass, pressured tournament lakes, and ultra-clear water conditions.
Closing Statement: Precision, stealth, and pure tungsten sensitivity. Gain your edge with Tungsten Edge.
What this size is for
The lightest worm weight we make. Clear, shallow water and a fall slow enough that a bed fish or a cold-front fish has time to look at it. Below about 1/8 oz you give up the ability to feel bottom once there is any wind on the water.

Questions, answered
What size worm weight should I use for a Texas rig?
1/4 oz covers most of it. Drop to 1/8 or 1/16 oz in clear water, on a slow fall or over sparse cover, and step up to 5/16 or 1/2 oz for wind, depth or thicker grass.
What sizes do you stock?
1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16 and 1/2 oz. There is no 3/8 oz in our worm weight line — the ladder steps 1/4, 5/16, 1/2. If you specifically want 3/8 oz, our flipping weight in that size slides on a worm hook and fishes much the same way.
Should I peg the weight or let it slide?
Peg it when you are fishing cover and want the weight and bait to arrive together — grass, wood, anything the bait can separate behind. Leave it sliding on open bottom, where a free weight lets the bait drift down more naturally after it lands.
Why is tungsten smaller than the lead weight I am used to?
Our weights are a 97% tungsten alloy at roughly 18.0 g/cm3 against lead's 11.34, so about 1.6 times denser. The same ounce takes up around 37% less volume. Worth knowing that is volume, not length — the weight is roughly 14% shorter and narrower, not 37%.
Will the finish chip?
Paint struggles to bond to tungsten because the metal is so hard, which is why cheap coated weights flake on the first rock. Ours carry the EdgeGuard No-Chip finish, and every weight has its size stamped into it, so a scuffed weight is still readable.
