Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who rig finesse presentations, drop-shot rigs, or need to add subtle weight to soft plastics without bulk. Also a fit for anyone stocking a tackle box with small nail weights for panfish or finicky bass on tough days.
Skip if
Skip this if you fish heavier rigs that need 1/4 ounce or larger weights, since these top out around 1/16 ounce. Anglers wanting tungsten sensitivity over lead should also look elsewhere, since these are plain lead nail weights.

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
Anglers who thread soft plastics on finesse rigs know that a few extra grains of weight can be the difference between a natural fall and a bait that spooks wary fish. The Reaction RT-US-116LNS Sinkers address that exact problem, packing 25 lead nail weights at 1/16 ounce each into a single $9.98 pack.
The specs are straightforward: lead construction, silver finish, and a 1/16 ounce size that suits light presentations like wacky-rigged worms, drop shots, and small jigs. At this weight, a single nail weight adds just enough mass to control fall rate without changing the action of a soft plastic. Twenty-five pieces per pack means most anglers get several seasons of use before restocking.
Compared to the Lindy CNS120 at $12.99 for 6 pieces of 3/4 ounce sinkers, or the tungsten-based Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV at $19.99 for 8 pieces at 1/8 ounce, the RT-US-116LNS is priced for volume rather than premium material. The 4.7-star rating across 467 reviews and 1,000+ bought last month suggest this pack has found a steady audience among anglers who value quantity and a specific light weight over tungsten sensitivity or size variety.
Pros
- 25 lead nail weights per pack for $9.98, roughly $0.40 per weight, well below the per-unit cost of the Lindy CNS120 or Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV
- 1/16 ounce sizing suits wacky rigs, drop shots, and light soft-plastic presentations
- 4.7-star average across 467 reviews
- 1,000+ bought last month, the highest recent demand of the sinkers compared here
- Silver lead construction is simple and reliable
- Listed InStock with no availability issues
Cons
- Only one weight size, 1/16 ounce, so heavier applications require a different product
- Lead construction rather than tungsten, which trades some sensitivity for lower cost
- 467 reviews is fewer than the 1,074 to 1,500 review counts posted by some competing sinkers
- Only one color option, silver

Performance notes
A 1/16 ounce nail weight is small enough to slide into the body of a soft plastic worm or fluke without changing its profile, which is the whole point of this style of weight. At that size, the RT-US-116LNS pack is built for finesse work rather than casting distance or bottom contact in current. Twenty-five pieces per pack gives enough volume to outfit several rigs across a season, or to share between fishing partners, since nail weights are easy to lose in snags or when swapping baits. Lead remains the standard material for this application because it is inexpensive and dense enough at small sizes, even though tungsten sinkers pack more mass into a smaller shape. For anglers matching hook weight to line and rod action on spinning setups, a 1/16 ounce increment lets fine adjustments to fall rate without needing to change line diameter or leader length.
What buyers say
A 4.7-star average across 467 reviews puts this pack among the higher-rated sinkers in its category, on par with the Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV's 4.7 stars but with a smaller review base than that product's 1,500. The 1,000+ bought last month figure stands out against the 100 to 300-per-month range reported for the alternatives here, suggesting steady repeat purchasing rather than a one-time spike. That combination, a strong rating held across a growing review count plus heavy recent purchase volume, typically points to a product that performs as described for its stated use case rather than one relying on marketing claims to move units. The lower review count relative to older listings like the Lindy CNS120 likely reflects a shorter time on the market rather than a demand problem.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the Reaction RT-US-116LNS nail weights?
Each weight in the pack is 1/16 ounce, and the pack includes 25 pieces made of silver-finished lead. That size is meant for finesse presentations rather than heavy bottom rigs, so anglers needing more mass per weight should look at a heavier size.
How does the price compare to other sinkers?
At $9.98 for 25 pieces, this pack works out to roughly 40 cents per weight, well below the per-unit cost of the Lindy CNS120 at about $2.16 each or the Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV at about $2.50 each, though those products include different materials and sizes.
Are these sinkers made of lead or tungsten?
The RT-US-116LNS pack is made of lead, not tungsten. Lead keeps the per-unit cost low but is less dense than tungsten, meaning a lead weight of the same physical size carries less mass than a tungsten equivalent like the 4C-9ONO-GPGV.
