Bass anglers who want a weighted worm hook combo for Texas-rig style presentations without threading a separate bullet weight onto the line.

Overview
This pack from Reaction, model RT-US-18LWSH30, includes 10 lead worm hooks in a combined 1/8oz weight and size 3/0 configuration, priced at $9.98 and finished in silver. Unlike the other five hooks in this comparison, which are built from high carbon steel or nickel-plated steel, this listing uses lead as the primary material, integrating a weight into the hook shank itself.
That combo design sets it apart from the standard worm hooks like the Afmivs or Berkley FSN19EWG3/0 listings, which require a separate weight for casting distance or depth control. Anglers rigging soft plastics who want a simpler one-piece setup may find that convenient, though it removes the flexibility to swap weights independently of hook size.
At roughly $1 per hook for a 10-count pack, this sits closer to the Gamakatsu's per-hook price than the bulk assortments in this comparison, reflecting the added lead weight built into each piece rather than a bare hook. With 251 reviews averaging 4.6 stars and 200+ bought last month, it shows a steady, midrange demand pattern relative to the rest of the group.
Pros
- Combines a 1/8oz lead weight with a 3/0 worm hook in one piece, removing the need for a separate weight
- 4.6-star average across 251 reviews, matching the Berkley FSN19WWG2/0's rating on a solid review base
- 200+ bought last month indicates consistent ongoing demand
- Silver finish weighted hook is a distinct design from every other hook compared here
- 10-count pack size fits anglers who want a moderate quantity rather than a bulk buy
Cons
- Fixed 1/8oz weight means no flexibility to pair the 3/0 hook with a lighter or heavier weight separately
- Lead construction differs from the high carbon or nickel-plated steel used across the rest of this comparison, so it does not directly compare on material
- 251 reviews is a mid-size sample, smaller than the Gamakatsu's 2,500 or the Berkley WWG's 806
- At roughly $1 per hook, this costs more per unit than the bulk assortment packs like Afmivs or Circle Circle Hooks

Performance notes
This hook builds a 1/8oz lead weight directly into a 3/0 worm hook shank, a combo design meant to simplify Texas-rig style setups by removing the separate bullet weight step. Lead is a dense, soft metal commonly used for fishing weights because it sinks quickly and can be molded precisely, though it is a different material category from the high carbon or nickel-plated steel hooks elsewhere in this comparison. At 0.13 ounces per hook across a 10-piece pack, the listed weight reflects the combined hook-and-lead assembly rather than a bare hook, which explains why it reads lighter than the total weight might suggest for a weighted rig. The 3/0 size targets similar bass presentations as the Afmivs and Berkley worm hooks in this set.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average across 251 reviews places this pack in the middle tier of this comparison, on par with the Berkley FSN19WWG2/0's 4.6 stars but with fewer total reviews than that listing's 806. The 200+ bought last month figure is a moderate demand signal, ahead of the lower-volume Reaction wire-guard listing's 100+ but well behind the Afmivs pack's 4,000+. Taken together, the pattern suggests steady, if not standout, demand for a weighted hook design that serves a more specific rigging need than the standard hooks in this group.
