Overview
Designed for anglers rigging soft plastics with a neko or wacky setup, these weights offer a simple way to add control to worms and stick baits. Their conical shape is made for insertion into the head or tail of a soft bait while helping avoid unnecessary damage to the plastic. The thin profile is intended to change bait action and reduce snags, making them useful across a range of techniques. Each pack includes 10 weights, giving you a practical option to keep in the tackle box for on-the-water adjustments.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for neko-wacky rigging and similar soft-bait presentations, so they’re more specialized than a general-purpose weight.
- The thin profile is intended to modify bait action, which means the result depends on the bait and rigging style you choose.
- The pack contains 10 weights, so frequent use may require restocking sooner than bulk terminal tackle options.
- Their conical shape helps with insertion into soft plastics, but they are still meant for use with worms and stick baits rather than hard baits or other lure types.
