Tungsten flipping weights with larger diameter to punch through heavy vegetation and cover.

The short, wide body and insert-free bore are meant for punching a bait through matted vegetation while keeping a direct line connection. The size is engraved on each weight, which makes sorting a tackle box simple for bass anglers rigging Texas-style.
