Flipping weights in 97% tungsten with an iridescent rainbow finish. The compact tungsten profile punches mats and heavy cover with a smaller silhouette than lead, and the worm-weight shape slides clean on the fall — built for pitching, flipping and punching where bass actually live.

Technical FAQ
Why tungsten for punching?
A tungsten weight is far smaller than lead at the same weight, so it slips through mats and cover with less hang-up and a cleaner entry.
What does the rainbow finish do?
It throws shifting color flashes on the fall — a subtle attractor on a weight that normally gets ignored.
Pegged or unpegged?
Peg it tight for punching and flipping; leave it sliding for Texas rigs in lighter cover.
Lead-free?
Yes — 97% tungsten, no lead.
