Tungsten Flipping Weight – 1/2 oz (2 Pack)
Description
Go Deeper, Punch Harder – Tungsten Edge 1/2 oz Flipping Weight
The 1/2 oz Flipping Weight is a go-to choice for anglers who need added penetration without jumping to extreme punching sizes. Made from 97% pure tungsten, it delivers increased sensitivity and a compact profile that is significantly smaller than lead, helping your bait slip cleanly through thicker cover.
The polished, insert-free line channel prevents line fray and maximizes feel. Finished in a matte black, chip-resistant coating, each weight stays stealthy and durable in tough fishing conditions. Every weight is size etched for fast identification and efficient rigging on the water.
This size excels when fishing heavier grass, brush, and wood where lighter weights struggle to reach the strike zone. It offers the perfect balance of power and control, allowing anglers to maintain bottom contact, detect subtle bites, and set the hook with confidence.
Best Applications: Ideal for flipping and pitching creature baits, compact Texas rigs, and fishing moderate to heavy cover in shallow to mid-depth water.
Closing Statement: Increased penetration without sacrificing feel. Gain your edge with Tungsten Edge.

Questions, answered
What size do I need to punch a mat?
For a matted canopy of hydrilla or hyacinth, 1 to 2 oz is the working range, and most anglers settle around 1 to 1-1/2 oz. Anything lighter tends to sit on top of the mat rather than break through it.
What about flipping cover I can see through?
Scattered wood, dock posts and grass edges do not need punching weight. 1/4 to 1/2 oz pitches quietly and keeps the fall slow enough that a pressured fish will still eat it.
What sizes do you stock?
3/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 and 2 oz. That covers light pitching through heavy punching. Some anglers fish 2-1/2 or 3 oz in the very thickest Florida and California mats; 2 oz is the top of our range.
Does a heavier weight give me a better hookset?
No. Weight controls how the bait gets through cover and how fast it falls. Hookset power comes from your rod, your line and how much slack you pick up.
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%.
