Tungsten Worm Weight – 1/2 oz (2 Pack)
Description
Heavy Cover Dominator – Tungsten Edge 1/2 oz Worm Weight
When bass bury in hydrilla, coontail, or brush, only a heavier tungsten weight will punch through. The Tungsten Edge 1/2 oz Worm Weight is built for power presentations, giving you compact penetration with unmatched sensitivity. Perfect for drawing strikes from fish that others cannot reach.
Made with 97% tungsten, this weight is dense, compact, and highly sensitive. It is up to 40% smaller than bulky lead alternatives. The insert-free bore is polished smooth to protect your line. The matte black coating resists chips and reduces visibility. Each weight is marked with its size so you never have to guess.
The 1/2 oz worm weight drives through mats while still transmitting every bottom detail and bite. It is the weight of choice for serious anglers chasing trophy bass in heavy cover.
Best Applications: Perfect for punching mats, Texas rigging creature baits, and working deeper ledges.
Closing Statement: Take command of heavy cover with tungsten’s unmatched edge.
What this size is for
The heavy end of the Texas rig. Thick grass, heavy brush, deep water and windy banks. For a matted canopy you would have to break through, step across to a flipping weight at 1 oz or more — this size handles thick cover, not a roof.

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.
