Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV Sinkers Review
Our verdict
Think of a shallow grass flat where a bulky weight gives away your bait before a bass ever sees it. At $19.99 for eight 1/8 oz tungsten weights, the Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV backs that compact profile with a 4.7-star rating across 1,500 reviews, the largest review base among comparable sinker packs.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Finesse anglers who need a small, dense 1/8 oz weight for skipping and pitching in grass or shallow cover, and who value tungsten's compact size over the lower cost of lead or brass alternatives.
Skip if
Skip this if you mainly need heavier weights for deep water or current, since 1/8 oz is a light, finesse-specific size, or if the $19.99 price feels steep next to $12.99 lead-based packs of similar piece count.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Grass flats and shallow docks punish any weight that displaces too much water on the fall. The Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV addresses that with a tungsten build at 1/8 oz, a material choice that packs more mass into a smaller shape than lead or brass at the same weight rating. The pack ships in Green Pumpkin, a color meant to blend the weight visually with natural cover, and includes eight pieces per order.
At $19.99, this is the most expensive sinker in this comparison set, roughly 54 percent above the $12.99 price point shared by three other packs here. That premium tracks with tungsten's higher raw material cost relative to lead, brass, or tin. In exchange, the listing shows a 4.7-star rating across 1,500 reviews, the largest sample size of any sinker covered here, and 100+ units bought in the past month.
For anglers who fish finesse presentations regularly, the combination of a small profile, dense tungsten build, and a review base five times larger than some competitors makes a reasonable case for the higher price. Buyers focused purely on cost per sinker will find cheaper options elsewhere in this lineup, but few carry the same review volume backing them up.
Pros
- 4.7-star rating across 1,500 reviews is the largest review sample among sinkers compared here
- Tungsten construction packs more density into a compact 1/8 oz shape than lead or brass
- Green Pumpkin color is designed to match common grass and cover tones
- 100+ units bought last month shows continued strong demand despite the higher price
- 8 pieces per pack gives a workable restock quantity for regular finesse fishing
- In-stock availability avoids backorder delays on a frequently repurchased item
Cons
- At $19.99, it is priced about 54 percent higher than the $12.99 packs in this comparison
- 1/8 oz is a light, finesse-specific weight, not suited to deep or fast-current fishing
- 8 pieces per pack is fewer than the 10 to 25-count packs offered by some rivals at lower prices
- Single color option (Green Pumpkin) limits matching to other cover tones

Performance notes
Tungsten is denser than lead, brass, or tin, which means a tungsten sinker rated at 1/8 oz takes up noticeably less physical space than a lead sinker at the same weight. In practice, that smaller profile matters most in shallow, clear water or heavy vegetation, where a bulkier weight is easier for fish to notice or more likely to hang in grass on the fall. The 1/8 oz rating itself sits at the light end of common sinker weights, intended for finesse rigging rather than punching through cover or holding bottom in current. The Green Pumpkin color is a cosmetic choice aimed at blending with natural vegetation and murky water rather than affecting the sinker's function. At eight pieces per pack, the count assumes moderate use, enough for a season of finesse fishing without the bulk of a 25-piece bag most anglers in this weight class would not need.
What buyers say
A 4.7-star rating across 1,500 reviews is a notable combination, since that review count is significantly larger than most other sinkers in this comparison set, some of which sit in the low hundreds. A large sample holding a high average suggests the rating is not the product of a small early batch of enthusiastic buyers, but a pattern that has held up over a wide base of purchases. The 100+ units bought in the past month indicates the item remains in active, current demand rather than trading on old reviews. For a premium-priced tungsten product, that combination of scale and consistency is a stronger signal than a smaller pack could offer at the same star rating.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV cost more than other sinkers?
At $19.99 it costs about 54 percent more than the $12.99 packs in this comparison, largely because it is built from tungsten. Tungsten is denser than lead or brass, so it packs the same weight into a smaller shape, which typically raises material cost per sinker.
What weight does this tungsten sinker come in?
The pack lists a size of 1/8 oz, sold in a set of 8 pieces for $19.99. That places it toward the lighter end of sinker weights, intended for finesse presentations rather than deep water or strong current fishing where heavier weights are typically needed.
Is the review volume on this sinker unusually high?
Yes. At 1,500 reviews, it carries the largest review count among the sinkers compared on this page, several times larger than competing packs that range from 136 to 712 reviews. Combined with a 4.7-star average, that scale suggests a well-established, consistently rated product.
