Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Perch anglers fishing Texas rigs. The compact bullet shape pairs neatly with an offset-hook soft plastic for working gaps and the edges of cover.
- Lure anglers building Carolina rigs. The weight options let you adjust bottom contact while keeping the lure separated from the ballast.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers needing heavier ballast. The listed 3–11g options won't cover every deep, fast-flowing or larger-lure situation.
- Budget anglers expecting frequent snag losses. Cheaper lead bullets can make more sense when losing several rigs is a realistic part of the session.

Quick verdict
A tidy upgrade where compactness counts
These are a cracking fit for lure anglers who want a compact weight ahead of a soft plastic. Tungsten keeps the bulk down, while the internal plastic tube gives your line protection where it passes through the weight.
They're most appealing for deliberate Texas- and Carolina-rig work, rather than chucking cheap rigs into every snag going. Pick the weight for the swim, not just casting distance, and you've got a useful little rig-building option.

Tungsten construction, protective tubing and clearly marked weights make a thoughtfully equipped package.
The compact bullet profile suits Texas and Carolina work, though the listed range stops at 11g.
Compact ballast can help build a tidy presentation, but weight choice and lure placement matter far more than the material alone.
Printed weight identification and a protected line passage make these straightforward to select and rig.
The compact profile gives a practical reason to choose tungsten, while lead remains better suited to tight budgets and frequent losses.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Tungsten Bullet Weights
Fox Rage Tungsten Bullet Weights are one of those little bits of tackle that make sense once you know what job you want them doing. They're compact ballast for lure rigs, particularly Texas and Carolina setups, rather than another lead for your carp wallet. If you're working a soft plastic around a canal shelf, along a weedy margin or across a gravel patch for perch, this is the sort of weight that earns its place in the box. Nothing flashy. Just a useful shape and some sensible details.
The big draw is the tungsten. It's denser than lead, so an equivalent weight takes up less room. That doesn't magically turn a quiet swim into a bagging session, mate, but it does keep the business end compact. With a smaller soft plastic, a bulky weight can look and feel a bit out of proportion. A tungsten bullet reduces that bulk while still providing the ballast you need. You choose the weight for control, then get the smaller profile as the bonus.
Fox Rage offers these in 3g, 5g, 7g, 9g and 11g, with three weights in a pack. That's a useful spread for lighter lure work, letting you adjust as depth, flow and wind change. There's no single correct choice for perch fishing. A shallow, sheltered canal and a deeper river edge ask different things of your rig. Start with enough weight to keep track of the lure, then adjust if you're losing contact or dragging the whole lot through the swim too quickly.
On a Texas rig, the bullet sits ahead of the hook and soft plastic, with its tapered nose facing up the line. Paired with a suitable offset hook and a neatly positioned hook point, it gives you a sensible way to explore cover without an exposed jig hook catching everything straight away. The shape helps the rig negotiate gaps, but let's not get carried away: branches, roots and rough stone can still claim it. Weed-resistant is useful. Snag-proof is a fairy tale.
A Carolina rig gives it a slightly different job. The weight runs above a swivel, with a suitable bead between weight and knot, while the lure sits farther back on a hooklength. That separates the ballast from the lure and lets you work the bottom without fixing the weight directly beside the hook. It's a handy approach when you want to inch a soft plastic across an area rather than swim it steadily through midwater. Keep the movement measured; hauling it along defeats much of the point.
The internal plastic tubing is a proper practical detail. It protects the fishing line inside the weight, where repeated movement could otherwise bring it against a hard edge. That's reassuring on a sliding rig, though it isn't permission to ignore the last bit of line after pulling free of a snag. Run your fingers along it, inspect the knot and retie if it feels rough. A tiny weight is replaceable. Losing a good perch because you couldn't be bothered with a quick check is properly gutting.
The finish is non-reflective matte green, and each weight carries the Fox Rage R-shield and weight identification. The understated colour is tidy, but the marking is arguably more useful day to day. When you've got a few similar-looking bullets in a compartment, being able to identify the weight saves faff. Fox Rage also describes the packaging as eco-friendly. Nice to see, although the more immediate bank-side priority is simple: take the packaging home and avoid leaving any discarded line behind.
The buying decision comes down to whether compactness is worth paying for. Tungsten generally sits above lead on cost, so it's less attractive if your chosen spot eats terminal tackle for breakfast. For more controlled lure work, though, the smaller profile, protected bore and clear weight marking make a convincing package. Don't buy the heaviest option just to launch farther. Buy for the water in front of you, keep the rig balanced and let the lure do its job. That's where these little bullets make proper sense.

Our take
Less bulk, not a shortcut to more bites
The main attraction is tungsten's density: you can carry the same weight in a smaller package than lead. That's handy when you want a modest-sized lure and its ballast to stay reasonably compact.
Don't confuse that with a guaranteed better presentation. Too much weight can still bury in soft silt or rush a lure through the zone. Getting the size right matters more than the material badge.
The useful details
Closer look: compact weights with line protection built in
You're buying three tungsten bullet weights per pack, with options from 3g through to 11g. The tapered shape is well suited to leading a soft-plastic rig through gaps in cover, while tungsten keeps the size down compared with the same weight in lead. That size advantage is the main reason to choose the material.
The internal plastic tube protects the line through the weight. Outside, you get a matte green finish and printed weight identification alongside the R-shield. There's no need to dress those details up: line protection and easy identification are genuinely useful when you're swapping rigs with cold fingers.
Worth knowing. A protective tube doesn't protect the rest of your rig. Check the line above the weight and around the knot after dragging over rough ground, and use an appropriate bite-resistant trace wherever pike are a realistic possibility.
Find the right job
Who it suits: anglers who want control without extra bulk
These make most sense for anglers deliberately working soft plastics on Texas or Carolina rigs. If you're picking apart canal features or searching the edge of cover for perch, the compact profile is dead handy. Carrying a couple of weights lets you respond to changing swims rather than forcing one setup to do everything.
They're less compelling if you mainly fish ready-rigged jigheads, need ballast beyond the listed 11g maximum, or regularly sacrifice rigs to horrible snag fields. Lead bullets remain a sensible budget choice. Spend the extra on tungsten because you want less bulk, not because you expect the material alone to put a PB in the net.
Rigging and buying
FAQs in full: the bits you need before tackling up
What rigs are they for? Texas and Carolina rigs are the obvious homes. For a Texas rig, thread the weight on before tying the hook, with the narrow end facing towards the rod. For a Carolina rig, the sliding weight sits above a suitable bead and swivel, with the lure attached on a separate hooklength below.
Which weights can you buy? The options are 3g, 5g, 7g, 9g and 11g, and each pack contains three. Choose around depth, current, lure size and the control you need. If the rig keeps ploughing into soft bottom, going lighter may be more useful than simply changing how you retrieve it.
Will the weight damage your line? The internal plastic tubing is there to protect it inside the bore. That's a useful safeguard, not a promise that the whole setup is immune to wear. Keep checking for abrasion, make sure any rig components are compatible, and replace damaged line rather than hoping it'll survive one more cast.

- Internal plastic tubing protects line through the bore.
- Printed weight identification cuts down tackle-box guesswork.
- Five weight options let you adjust to depth, flow and lure size.
- Non-reflective matte green finish keeps things understated.
Worth knowing
- Tungsten generally costs more than lead, making snag losses harder to swallow.
- The listed range tops out at 11g, so heavier work needs another option.
- A bullet shape helps a suitable rig negotiate cover; it doesn't make it snag-proof.
