The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Dr.Fish DFTWoD2_Q5 stands apart in this comparison for its weight class. At 2oz per piece, it is designed for heavier applications like surf fishing or deeper bottom rigs, well beyond the 1/32oz to 3/4oz range covered by the other sinkers reviewed alongside it. The 5-pack costs $8.99, the lowest price of any sinker in this group.
Despite the budget price, it holds a 4.7 star average across 348 reviews, matching the top rating tier shared by the Reaction and unbranded tungsten packs. The 50+ bought last month figure places it in the same demand tier as the split shot and brass sinker packs reviewed here, trailing the higher-volume Lindy, Reaction, and Egg BlDY-PJ26 listings.
Lead construction at this weight class is standard for the application, since tungsten at 2oz would carry a steep price premium relative to lead. For anglers who need serious weight to hold bottom in current or cast distance in surf conditions, this pack offers that heavier option at a price below every lighter-weight sinker in this comparison.

Cons
- Only 5 pieces per pack, the fewest of any sinker in this comparison
- 2oz weight is unsuitable for light finesse or panfish presentations
- 50+ bought last month trails the 100+ to 400+ pace of several other listings
- 348 reviews is a smaller sample than the 719 to 1,500 review counts of some rivals

Performance notes
At 2oz per piece, this sinker is built for a different job than the lighter packs in this comparison. That weight is meant to hold bottom in current, cast farther in surf conditions, or get a bait down quickly in deep water, none of which the 1/32oz to 3/4oz sinkers reviewed alongside it are designed for. Lead remains the standard material at this heavier weight class since tungsten would add significant cost without a proportional benefit for bottom-holding applications. With only 5 pieces per pack, this is meant as a targeted purchase for anglers who know they need 2oz weights specifically, not a general assortment.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across 348 reviews places this sinker among the top-rated products in this comparison, equal to the Reaction and unbranded tungsten packs despite its much lower $8.99 price. Its 50+ bought last month matches the pace of the lighter split shot and brass packs but trails the 100+ to 400+ figures seen on higher-volume listings. Given that 2oz sinkers serve a narrower use case than lighter finesse weights, the more modest volume paired with a strong rating suggests a smaller but satisfied buyer base focused on surf and deep-water applications.
