What this size is for
The size that fills the gap where most lines put a 3/8. Use it when a 1/4 hangs in the grass canopy instead of dropping through, and a 1/2 blows past the strike zone. Note there is no 3/8 oz in our worm weight line — this is the step above 1/4.

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.
