Weights & Sinkers
Tungsten worm weights, drop shot weights, and flipping weights. More sensitivity, smaller profile, better feel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size sinker should I use for bass fishing?
Match the weight to your cover and presentation, not a fixed rule. In open water or clear conditions, a 3/16 to 1/4 oz weight keeps things natural, while punching through mats or heavy grass calls for 3/8 to 1 oz so the bait gets down fast. Windy days or deep water also push most anglers toward heavier weights just to maintain feel and control.
What's the difference between tungsten and lead sinkers?
Tungsten is denser than lead, so a tungsten weight is smaller for the same mass, which means better bottom contact and clearer feedback through braid. Lead is cheaper and works fine for general fishing, but tungsten wins for punching through cover and detecting subtle bites. Some regions also restrict lead tackle due to environmental rules, so tungsten is the safer buy if you fish public water with waterfowl nearby.
When should I use a bullet weight versus a drop shot weight?
Bullet weights are built for Texas rigs and Carolina rigs, letting the bait slide through grass and wood without hanging up. Drop shot weights are meant to sit on the bottom while the bait hovers above it on a leader, which is ideal for finesse fishing over deep structure or suspended fish. Pick bullet weights when you're moving through cover and drop shot weights when you're working a tight spot vertically.
Do you ship weights and sinkers internationally, and are there any restrictions?
Yes, Glenmore ships sinkers and weights worldwide with free shipping to the US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, and New Zealand. Lead tackle faces import restrictions in a handful of countries, so we stock tungsten and steel alternatives for those destinations to avoid any customs holdups.
