Tungsten Flipping Weight – 5/8 oz (2 Pack)
Description
Precision in Heavier Cover – Tungsten Edge 5/8 oz Flipping Weight
The Tungsten Edge 5/8 oz Flipping Weight is built for anglers who need added penetration and control when fishing thicker cover. Made from 97% pure tungsten, this weight delivers a compact, high-density profile that slips through grass, wood, and vegetation more efficiently than lighter options while maintaining excellent sensitivity.
The insert-free, diamond-polished bore helps protect your line during repeated flips and pitches, while the matte black finish is chip-resistant and minimizes flash for a stealthy presentation. Each weight is laser-etched with its size for quick identification and efficient rigging on the water.
This size excels when standard flipping weights aren’t quite enough, but full-on punching weights aren’t required. It provides a faster fall rate, improved penetration, and consistent bottom contact for confident hooksets in heavier cover.
Best Applications: Perfect for flipping thicker grass, laydowns, brush piles, and pitching creature baits, Texas rigs, and compact craws in moderate-to-heavy cover.
Built for precision when cover gets thicker. 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%.
