Bullet Weight Screw-in Sinker Black 1/16 4ct

When you're running a Texas rig and need your weight to stay put, a screw-in sinker beats the old-school methods. The Bullet Weight Screw-in Sinker in 1/16 oz gives you a secure, repeatable way to attach your plastic to your sinker without resorting to toothpicks or pegs that can tear up your baits. The screw mechanism locks your worm or creature in place, keeping everything aligned through the cast and letting you focus on working structure instead of wrestling with rigging.

This four-pack of black sinkers is ready to go right out of the box. The 1/16 oz weight is ideal for shallow water presentations, finesse work, and situations where you need a lighter touch—think clear water, light cover, or when bass are being selective. Black matches most dark-bottom environments and pairs well with dark and neutral-toned soft plastics.

If you've been pegging weights the traditional way, switching to a screw-in design streamlines your rigging process and extends the life of your baits. No more puncture holes, no more friction damage. Just twist, fish, and catch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a screw-in sinker work?

The screw-in sinker uses a small screw mechanism to attach your plastic bait directly to the weight. Instead of pegging or using a toothpick to hold the bait in place, you simply twist the plastic onto the sinker's screw device. This locks the bait in position and eliminates puncture holes that traditional pegs can create.

What's the difference between a screw-in sinker and a pegged weight?

A pegged weight relies on a toothpick or rubber peg wedged between the sinker and the bait to keep them connected. Screw-in sinkers use a threaded attachment that doesn't puncture or damage the plastic. This design reduces bait wear, keeps your rigs more durable across multiple casts, and offers a more secure connection.

When should I use a 1/16 oz sinker?

The 1/16 oz weight is lightweight and works well in shallow water, clear conditions, and finesse scenarios where you need a slower fall and minimal bottom contact. It's also a good choice when bass are being selective or when you're fishing light cover that doesn't require a heavier sinker.

What baits pair well with screw-in sinkers?

Screw-in sinkers work with any Texas rig soft plastic—worms, creature baits, crawfish imitations, and shad-style plastics. Because the screw mechanism doesn't tear the plastic, you can use thinner, more realistic baits without worrying about them splitting or sliding down the weight.
