The G-Shield Tungsten Worm Weight is an advanced new tungsten weight from Gamakatsu. Gamakatsu, the longtime leader in hooks, has revolutionized the fishing world with ultra-sharp tools for every specialized technique. Now Gamakatsu brings its legendary attention to detail and innovative thinking to the tungsten weight market. The new G-Shield Tungsten Weights are available in standard worm weights, flipping weights and punch weights.
All three versions of the G-Shield weights feature a specially designed composite insert that not only protects an angler's line, but also provides 360 degree protection for the knot. No more breaking off on the hook set or in heavy cover - these are made to eliminate the issues caused by uneven and rough tungsten. Furthermore, the insert is wider at the base than at the insertion hole so the hook eye can recess itself into the weight, thereby creating a more compact, lifelike and snag-resistant offering. All of the styles also come in a chip-proof black matte finish paint job which blends in with plastics and your lure's surroundings to generate more strikes. The weight size is stamped into the side of each weight making it easy to identify when it's time to make a change.
- The Gamakatsu G-Shield Tungsten Worm Weight is an advanced new tungsten weight designed for weighting worms and soft plastics. With the small pointy nose, the Worm Weight is perfect for tossing into light cover and dragging your worms on the bottom.
- The G-Shield features a composite insert through the tungsten weight that protects your line from abrasion by passing through the tungsten weight.
- Additionally, the base of the insert on the G-Shield weight is wider, which lets your knots recess into the base of the weight, protecting your knots from abrasions, too.
- Tungsten weights are more dense than lead, letting you get the same weight into a more compact and smaller profile.
