Brass bullet weightsI really like the brass weights over the lead ones, not just for environmental reasons. They will click when you add the brass clackers and red plastic beads as you retrieve them across the bottom and they come in contact with rocks, stumps, limbs, etc. The sound mimics or so I've heard from the pros like crawfish clicking their pincers and helps to attract fish.

Great WeightThese weights are great for carolina rigging when combined with a metal bead and a BPS brass ticker, produces a very loud ticking sound

Tops for live bait rigsI have used BP Brass Carolina Weights for nearly 20 years for live bait rigging for walleyes in Minnesota lakes. They seem to attract fish by clinking on the bottom rocks and gravel. With the smooth inner surface they also fray line less than lead. They telegraph bottom content better than lead as well. Be careful if you are using ceramic guides at the tip of your rod. These will smash ceramic. They are also better for the environment than lead.

BPS Carolina weightsGot some of these for carolina rigging (like the product says). They serve their purpose, maybe a little on the heavier side but work. I got the black flavor and they seemed to be good quality. Paint held up pretty good to a days worth of fishing. It is what it is, a 1/2 or 3/4 oz. weight.

Dress them up!Use a glass or brass bead between them and a swivel on a carolina rig for more noise AND also use a somewhat larger one in front of the weight to make it less likely to hangup in rocks and other debris...try it.

I WAS SHIPPED WRONG PRODUCTTO START ON A POSITIVE NOTE, THE BRASS COLORED BRASS WEIGHTS ARE AN EXCELLENT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PRODUCT,HOWEVER, I HAD PLACED AN ORDER FOR 2 PKGS OF 3/4 OZ CAROLINA BRASS WEIGHTS SPECIFICALLY MENTIONING I NEEDED THE BRASS COLORED ONES NOT THE BLACK. THE ORDER ARRIVED THE NIGHT BEFORE MY BROTHER"S FINAL BASS TOURNAMENT OF THE SEASON ONLY TO DISCOVER THEY WERE BLACK NOT THE BRASS WE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE RIGS. I HAD PICKED UP RED BEADS AND BRASS TICKERS A FEW DAYS EARLIER AT BASS PRO IN TORONTO BUT THEY WERE OUT OF STOCK ON THE BRASS COLORED BRASS 3/4 WEIGHTS SO I ORDERED DIRECT..... UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE OF NO USE TO HIM AND NO TIME TO REORDER THE PROPER ONES.

Great weight!Don't buy the pre-made C-rigs, just buy yourself some of these with some clackers and swivels and you have your go-to setup!
They work great for rocky areas and gravel bottoms, but not so much in weeds...just can't seem to pull the weight through as well as I would like.

Good weightsUsed these for rigging for bass and had no problems with them in the thickest cover. No hangups and easy to use in setting up worm rigs.
for flipping and pitching milfoil mats and some thin wood cover, would this be a suitable replacement for tungsten? it is very expensive and i cant afford it so i was looking for another alternative besides lead.
Thanks,

You can use this for flipping and pitching if so I suggest painting the weight and using a rubber peg because the hole is longer than on normal lead weights

Are lead weights going to be a thing of the past?
I heard that the production of lead weights is going to be stopped because of the environmental impact. Does anyone know if this is this true?
Asked by: floridabass
Thank you for the question. Lead weights are still currently available although some states and areas have restrictions on items containing lead.
