Tungsten Nail Weight – 1/16 oz (6 Pack)
Description
Tournament-Ready Balance – Tungsten Nail Weight 1/16 oz
The Tungsten Edge 1/16 oz Nail Weight gives finesse anglers the ability to work deeper water or current while maintaining a natural plastic presentation. Built from 97% tungsten, this weight is dense, compact, and highly sensitive.
The tapered design inserts cleanly into worms or stick baits, holding securely through casts and bites. The matte black finish eliminates unnatural flash, while the smaller size compared to lead ensures your bait looks natural to pressured bass.
Best Applications: Perfect for Neko rigs with stick baits, deeper finesse worms, and current-influenced waters.
Closing Statement: The tournament choice for balanced finesse presentations. Gain your edge with Tungsten Edge.

Questions, answered
What size nail weight for a Neko rig?
3/64 oz is the size most anglers settle on. Go to 1/64 or 1/32 oz in clear, shallow or heavily pressured water where you want the slowest possible fall, and 1/16 or 7/64 oz when you are fishing deeper, into wind, or in current.
What sizes do you stock?
1/64, 1/32, 3/64, 1/16 and 7/64 oz.
How do I keep the nail weight from pulling out?
Insert it into the fattest part of the bait so there is plastic all around it, and push it fully below the surface. On a soft stick bait an O-ring at the hook takes the strain off the plastic and the whole rig lasts noticeably longer.
What is the difference between a Neko rig and a wacky rig?
Both hook a stick bait through the middle. A Neko rig adds a nail weight in one end so the bait stands nose-down on the bottom and shakes. A wacky rig is unweighted or carries the weight at the hook, so it falls flat and shimmies on both ends.
Why is tungsten smaller than lead?
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%.
