Bullet Weights Offers New Two-Ounce Tungsten Flipping WeightBullet Weights Offers New Two-Ounce Tungsten Flipping Weight

Bullet Weights expands its selection of bass-specific sinkers with a new two-ounce size of the popular Tungsten Flipping Weight.

The Tungsten Flipping Weight line now ranges from 1/4-ounce to two-ounce sizes. As a result, anglers can choose the perfect-size sinker for most any situation.

"Bass anglers know that if a sinker is too light, it fails to penetrate thick cover and the flip, pitch or cast is wasted," said Bullet Weights President Joe Crumrine. "We added the heavier two-ounce size to our Tungsten Flipping Weight line in response to numerous requests. The demand for tungsten is growing among avid bass anglers because it has greater density than lead, which makes a tungsten sinker about 50 percent smaller."

Compared to traditional bullet weights, which are tall and thin, flipping weights are shorter and thicker. They're designed to match the bulky soft-plastic creature baits usually rigged with them and provide a lifelike presentation without snagging on weeds or wood. The flare and taper of a flipping weight punches a hole in thick vegetation, allowing a creature bait to easily follow behind and fall into a fish's strike zone.

The new two-ounce Tungsten Flipping Weight comes in black or green pumpkin, and because the PermaColorô paint is baked on, it won't crack, chip or peel. Each sinker features a concave base for a perfect fit with soft plastics, and the smooth insert-free inner bore won't fray an angler's line. Manufacturer's suggested retail price is $13.99 per pack.
