Featherweight tungsten wacky heads from 0.9g to 2.7g — the sizes lead-free finesse has always struggled to pour small. Tungsten casts these micro weights on finesse gear, sinks a wacky-rigged worm at a natural rate, and an optional silicone skirt adds pulse when you want the jig-wacky hybrid look.

Technical FAQ
Why tungsten at these tiny sizes?
Lead-free alternatives get bulky fast under 3g. Tungsten keeps a 0.9g head genuinely small, so the worm falls naturally instead of dragging hardware.
Wacky vs jig-wacky?
Plain head for the classic wacky fall; add the silicone skirt for the jig-wacky hybrid that pulses on the drop.
Which weight for shallow water?
0.9g-1.3g for a slow, natural fall in under 10ft; 1.8g-2.7g for depth or a light breeze.
Lead-free?
Yes — tungsten alloy with zero lead, built for restricted waters.
