Overview
Designed for Carolina-rigging, these slider weights are built around a technique-specific profile that supports efficient rigging in demanding bottom structure. Their 100% lead-free tungsten construction keeps them more compact than lead weights of the same size, which can help them move through rocky terrain with fewer hang-ups. The insert-free cylinder design keeps the setup straightforward and focused on the rigging method itself. Sold in a quantity of two at 1/2 ounce each, they suit anglers looking for a compact, purpose-built weight option for this presentation.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for Carolina-rigging, so it’s a technique-focused weight rather than a general-purpose option.
- The compact tungsten construction is smaller than lead weights of the same size, which can be useful in rocky areas but also means it’s a more specialized setup choice.
- The insert-free cylinder design keeps the profile simple, but it may not suit anglers looking for a different weight style or attachment format.
- Pack quantity is 2, so it’s a modest fill for anglers who go through terminal tackle quickly.
