Lunker City Lead Insert / Nail Weights (Wacky & Neko Rig)

Invented by Lunker City founder Herb Reed, the original Lunker City Lead Insert / Nail Weights changed the game for custom soft plastic rigging. Designed to slide directly into the nose, belly, or tail of your favorite soft plastics, these concealed weights allow you to fine-tune a bait’s sink rate, casting distance, and fall angle without altering its external profile or line tie. Constructed from soft lead with ribbed retention rings, these weights lock firmly into soft plastics and can easily be trimmed down with scissors or line clippers for precise weight adjustments on the water.

Key Features & Specifications

• Concealed Weight Design: Hides inside soft jerkbaits, stickbaits, or worms to adjust sink rates and balance without affecting action or line dynamics.

• Ribbed Holding Profile: Textured outer ridges grip soft plastic material to keep the weight securely anchored during long casts and aggressive twitches.

• Easily Trimmable Lead: Made from soft, workable lead that can be snipped down with line clippers or pliers to achieve custom, exact grain weights.

• Advantage Over Tungsten: Unlike hard tungsten nails, soft lead weights can be cut into smaller pieces or glued across sections of plastic to create custom horizontal or nose-down falls.

• Versatile Rigging Options: The ultimate accessory for Neko rigging, Wacky rigging, weight-adjusting Slug-Gos®, or nose-weighting Fin-S Fish for deeper currents.
